Norton 61463687175 Round Fine Sharpening Stone 1/2 in

Product Description

The NORTON 61463687175 is a round sharpening stone rated at fine grade, designed to hone and refine cutting edges on hand tools, blades, and small implements. At 1/2 inch thick with a round profile, this stone suits touch-up work on curved or contoured edges where a flat bench stone would be impractical. Fine grade abrasive removes minimal material while producing a smooth, sharp edge. Machinists, woodworkers, and tool-and-die professionals keep this style of stone on hand for detail honing between heavier sharpening sessions. It meets specification FS44 as noted in the product data.

This stone is suited for light sharpening and edge maintenance on a range of hand tools and cutting implements. The round shape makes it particularly useful for honing the inside of gouges, curved blades, fishhooks, and similarly contoured tools. Its compact size and low weight of 0.05 pounds make it easy to carry in a field or shop kit. Typical users include machinists, maintenance technicians, woodworkers, and trade professionals who need a dedicated fine-grade stone for finish honing.

Installation Notes

Sharpening stones require no installation but should be used with an appropriate honing fluid or oil to float swarf away from the abrasive surface and extend stone life. Secure the workpiece or the stone firmly before honing to maintain a consistent edge angle. Always follow the tool manufacturer's recommended sharpening angle for the blade being honed. Dispose of worn stones and used honing fluids in accordance with local regulations.
