Norton 61463686040 Fine Square Sharpening Stone

Product Description

The NORTON 61463686040 is a fine-grade square sharpening stone used to hone and dress the cutting edges of hand tools, blades, and shop instruments. At 0.5 inches thick, this stone provides a stable, consistent surface for controlled edge work. The fine grit rating makes it suited for finishing passes and edge refinement rather than aggressive stock removal. Machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and general trade professionals keep stones like this on hand for maintaining chisels, scrapers, plane irons, and similar cutting tools to a serviceable edge.

This sharpening stone is appropriate for bench use in shop environments as well as field service applications where blade maintenance is part of routine tool upkeep. Its square profile and uniform 0.5-inch thickness make it easy to hold by hand or stabilize on a flat surface. Fine-grade stones are typically the last step in a multi-stage sharpening process, following coarser abrasive work to bring an edge to a polished, work-ready condition.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Sharpening stones require no installation. When using this stone, secure it on a flat, stable surface or use a dedicated stone holder to prevent movement during honing. Apply a light honing oil or water as a lubricant to float swarf away from the surface and extend stone life. Avoid applying uneven pressure that can cause dish wear on the stone face over time.
