Norton 66260149449 Diamond Dresser 7/16 in Shank

Product Description

The NORTON 66260149449 is a diamond dresser designed for truing and dressing grinding wheels in machine shop and precision grinding applications. It features a 7/16-inch shank diameter and a multi-point diamond configuration, which distributes wear across multiple contact points for longer tool life compared to single-point designs. The head measures 3/8 inch in length with a 5/32-inch thickness and follows a 3A-F shape profile. At 0.055 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight tool suited for bench grinders, surface grinders, and cylindrical grinding setups. Installation is performed by qualified machinists or grinding machine operators.

This diamond dresser is used in metalworking and precision machining environments where consistent grinding wheel geometry is required. It is appropriate for truing wheels on surface grinders, tool and cutter grinders, and bench grinder setups. The multi-point head style is well suited for production environments where frequent dressing cycles are needed to maintain wheel profile and surface finish quality.

Key Features

• Multi-point diamond configuration for extended service life and even wear distribution
• 7/16-inch shank diameter for secure clamping in standard dresser holders
• 3A-F head shape for consistent wheel profile dressing
• 3/8-inch head length with 5/32-inch head thickness for precise contact geometry

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement diamond dresser for use with standard dresser holders accepting a 7/16-inch shank diameter on bench, surface, and cylindrical grinding machines.

Installation Notes

Diamond dressers are installed and used by machinists and grinding machine operators. Before mounting or replacing a dresser, power down and lock out the grinding machine per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Secure the shank firmly in the dresser holder to prevent movement during the dressing pass. Never apply excessive lateral force to the diamond head, as this can fracture the diamond points and damage the wheel surface.
