Norton 61463687145 Round Sharpening Stone Fine Grade

Product Description

The NORTON 61463687145 is a round, fine-grade sharpening stone designed for honing and maintaining cutting edges on hand tools, blades, and similar implements. At 1/4 inch thick, this compact stone is suited for touching up smaller edge tools and getting into tight geometries that larger bench stones cannot reach. Fine grade abrasive removes minimal material and produces a refined, sharp edge. Licensed tradespeople, machinists, and tool-and-die technicians commonly keep a stone like this on hand for field touch-ups and shop maintenance.

This stone is appropriate for use in maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) settings as well as trade shops where edge-tool sharpening is a routine task. Its round profile makes it particularly useful for sharpening curved or notched edges, gouges, and similar contoured cutting tools. The fine grit specification (FS24) targets finish honing rather than aggressive material removal, making it a secondary or finishing step in a multi-stage sharpening workflow.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose fine-grade round sharpening stone suitable for honing hand tools, gouges, and edge implements commonly used in woodworking, machining, and general trade applications.

Installation Notes

No power-down or lockout procedure is required for sharpening stone use. Apply an appropriate honing oil or water to the stone surface before use to float swarf and extend stone life — check the stone grade specification to confirm the correct lubricant type. Maintain consistent angle contact with the blade or tool edge throughout each stroke. Inspect the stone for cracks or uneven wear before each use and replace if the surface is no longer flat or structurally sound.
