Norton 61463685855 Sharpening Stone 1.5 in Rectangle

Product Description

The NORTON 61463685855 is a rectangular sharpening stone designed for honing and restoring edges on cutting tools such as chisels, plane irons, knives, and blades. At 1.5 inches thick, this stone offers substantial material depth, extending service life even under frequent use. The gray finish is consistent with aluminum oxide or similar abrasive compositions commonly used in bench stones for general-purpose sharpening. Tradespeople and skilled craftspeople rely on bench stones like this to maintain precise, clean cutting edges on hand tools between sharpenings or replacements.

This sharpening stone is suited for use in workshop and job-site environments where hand tools require regular edge maintenance. Typical applications include woodworking, carpentry, plumbing pipe work, sheet metal fabrication, and general mechanical trades where sharp tooling is critical to quality and safety. The rectangular profile allows full-length strokes across the stone surface and stable positioning on a bench or vise.

Installation Notes

No power source or mechanical installation is required for this bench stone. Secure the stone on a flat, stable surface or in a stone holder before use to prevent movement during honing. Use an appropriate honing oil or water as a lubricant based on the stone type to float swarf and protect the surface. Keep the stone clean and dry during storage to prevent contamination of the abrasive face.
