Norton 61463686440 Round Sharpening Stone Medium Grade

Product Description

The NORTON 61463686440 is a round sharpening stone designed for honing and dressing cutting edges on hand tools, blades, and implements. Built to medium grade, it removes metal at a moderate rate — fast enough to restore a dull edge but fine enough to leave a serviceable finish. At 3/8 inch thick, it is a compact slip stone suited for work in tight profiles such as gouges, chisels, and curved tool edges. Trade professionals and skilled tradespeople rely on stones like this for quick field touch-ups and bench sharpening between major grinds.

This stone is appropriate for use in maintenance, fabrication, and tool-sharpening applications across multiple trades including carpentry, plumbing, HVAC sheet metal work, and general mechanical service. Its round profile makes it particularly useful for honing the interior curves of gouges, fish hooks, and similarly shaped cutting tools where a flat stone cannot make full contact with the edge geometry.

Key Features

• Medium grade abrasive for general-purpose edge restoration and honing
• Round stone shape for honing curved and contoured cutting edges
• Compact 3/8 inch thickness for use in confined profiles and tight tool geometries
• Lightweight at 0.04 pounds for easy portability in a tool kit or service bag
• Specification MJF234 for cross-reference and procurement tracking

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slip stone suitable for honing curved cutting edges on hand tools and implements where a round profile is required.

Installation Notes

Sharpening stones require no power tools for use, but work area safety still applies — secure the workpiece or clamp the tool being honed before applying the stone. Use an appropriate honing oil or water lubricant as recommended for the abrasive type to float swarf away from the cutting surface and extend stone life. Dispose of used honing fluid in accordance with local shop waste regulations. Inspect the stone for cracks before each use and do not apply lateral force that could cause fracture.
