Norton 61463699705 Dressing Stick 180 Grit 0.5x1x4 in

Product Description

The NORTON 61463699705 is a rectangular aluminum oxide dressing stick designed for cleaning and truing diamond and CBN superabrasive grinding wheels. At 180 grit with a medium grade, it removes embedded workpiece material and glazing from wheel faces without aggressive stock removal from the wheel itself. Measuring 0.5 x 1 x 4 inches, the stick provides a comfortable gripping surface for controlled dressing passes. Licensed tradespeople and toolroom operators working with precision superabrasive wheels rely on this type of stick to restore wheel cutting action and maintain profile geometry between dressing cycles.

This dressing stick is suited for toolroom, production grinding, and surface grinding environments where diamond or CBN wheels are in regular use. It is appropriate for both shop-floor technicians and precision grinder operators maintaining wheel condition on horizontal spindle, cylindrical, and tool and cutter grinding machines. The white aluminum oxide composition is well matched to dressing operations where minimal contamination of the wheel bond is a priority.

Compatibility

Designed for use as a dressing and cleaning stick for diamond and CBN superabrasive grinding wheels in toolroom and production grinding applications.

Installation Notes

Dressing sticks are used by toolroom machinists and grinding machine operators. Before dressing, power down the grinder or ensure the wheel is rotating at operating speed with all guards in place per machine manufacturer instructions and applicable ANSI B11 grinding safety standards. Hold the stick firmly against the wheel face using a dressing stick holder or fixture where available to maintain consistent contact angle. Inspect the stick for cracks or chips before each use and discard if structural integrity is compromised.
