Norton 61463686145 Medium Grade Square Sharpening Stone

Product Description

The NORTON 61463686145 is a medium-grade square sharpening stone designed for honing and restoring edges on cutting tools, blades, and hand tools. Medium grit removes metal efficiently while still leaving a workable, refined edge — making it a practical choice for general shop maintenance, field sharpening, and tool reconditioning. At 0.75 inches thick, this stone provides a solid, stable surface for consistent contact during the honing stroke. It suits tool-and-die shops, woodworking trades, plumbing, and general mechanical work where sharp cutting tools are a daily requirement.

This sharpening stone is suited for bench use in trade and shop environments where medium-stock removal is needed before finishing with a finer grit. Typical applications include sharpening chisels, plane irons, scrapers, and utility knives. The square profile makes it easy to handle freehand or fixture in a bench vise. It is appropriate for both professional tradespeople and skilled DIYers maintaining their own tool inventory.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this sharpening stone. Secure the stone on a non-slip surface or bench vise before use to prevent movement during honing. Use an appropriate honing oil or water as a lubricant to float swarf away from the surface and extend stone life. Keep the stone clean and store it in a dry location to prevent contamination of the abrasive surface.
