Norton 61463685620 Coarse Rectangle Sharpening Stone 1 in

Product Description

The NORTON 61463685620 is a coarse-grade rectangular sharpening stone used to restore and sharpen cutting edges on blades, chisels, and hand tools. Coarse grit is best suited for reprofiling damaged edges, removing nicks, or establishing a new bevel before moving to finer finishing stones. At 1 inch thick, the stone offers substantial material for repeated use over its service life. Machinists, woodworkers, and trade professionals who maintain hand tools rely on bench stones like this one for consistent, controlled edge work without the need for power equipment.

This sharpening stone is suited for bench use in shop, field, or job-site settings. It is appropriate for maintaining knives, plane irons, chisels, scrapers, and similar hand tools across woodworking, plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical trades. The coarse grade makes it most effective as a first-stage stone when significant metal removal is required before progressing to medium or fine grits.

Key Features

• Rectangular shape provides a stable, flat sharpening surface

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Secure the stone on a flat, stable surface before use to prevent movement during sharpening. Depending on stone composition, a honing oil or water may be applied to the surface to float away swarf and extend the life of the abrasive. No power tools or special codes apply, but consistent angle maintenance during use is critical to producing a uniform edge. Inspect the stone surface periodically for dishing and dress as needed to maintain a flat sharpening plane.
