Norton 61463685490 Silicon Carbide Sharpening Stone Fine

Product Description

The NORTON 61463685490 is a rectangular silicon carbide sharpening stone in a fine grade, designed for honing and sharpening cutting edges on hand tools, blades, and shop equipment. Silicon carbide is a hard, fast-cutting abrasive that removes material efficiently, making this stone well-suited for touch-up work and final edge refinement. At 0.625 inches thick, the stone provides a stable, manageable surface for consistent hand sharpening. It is used by tradespeople, machinists, and maintenance technicians who need a reliable bench stone for keeping tools in service-ready condition.

This fine-grade stone is appropriate for finishing and refining edges after coarser material removal has been completed. It is commonly used in maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) environments, machine shops, and trade shops where hand tool upkeep is part of regular workflow. Typical applications include sharpening chisels, plane irons, knives, and similar cutting tools. The rectangular shape allows flat, consistent strokes across the full face of the stone.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for bench sharpening stones. Place the stone on a flat, stable surface or use a stone holder to prevent movement during use. Apply a honing oil or water as a lubricant to float away swarf and extend stone life, following the abrasive manufacturer guidance for the appropriate fluid type. Keep the stone clean and store it in a dry location to prevent contamination.
