Norton 61463686740 Round Fine Sharpening Stone 5/16 in

Product Description

The NORTON 61463686740 is a round sharpening stone designed for honing and dressing cutting edges on hand tools, blades, and similar implements. At 5/16 inches thick and finished to a fine grade, this stone removes minimal material per pass, making it well suited for refining an edge that has already been shaped or for light touch-up work between uses. Tradespeople and craftsmen who need consistent, controlled honing in a compact round format will find this stone a practical bench or field tool. The specification code FF723 identifies this stone within the NORTON abrasives line.

This stone is used wherever fine honing of small cutting tools is required. Typical applications include sharpening chisels, gouges, awls, and similar pointed or curved-edge tools common in carpentry, plumbing, HVAC, and general trade work. The round profile makes it especially useful for maintaining curved or concave edges that flat stones cannot reach effectively. Its small size and low weight make it easy to carry in a tool bag for on-site use.

Installation Notes

No power tools or special installation is required for this sharpening stone. Always secure the workpiece or stone firmly before honing to prevent slipping and injury. Use a honing oil or water lubricant as appropriate for the tool steel being sharpened to extend stone life and improve edge quality. Keep the stone clean and free of metal filings after each use.
