Norton 66260195001 Single Point Diamond Dresser 1/4 Carat

Product Description

The NORTON 66260195001 is a single point diamond dresser used to true and dress grinding wheels in precision grinding applications. The tool features a 1/4 carat natural or industrial diamond mounted at a 60-degree included angle, providing consistent cutting geometry across the wheel face. The 7/16 inch shank diameter and 2 inch shank length fit standard tool post and holder setups on bench, pedestal, and surface grinders. Machinists, tool and die makers, and grinding machine operators use this type of dresser to restore wheel form and remove glazing or loading. It is a non-resettable single point design, meaning the diamond is factory-set and cannot be repositioned after wear.

This diamond dresser is suited for use in machine shops, production grinding environments, and maintenance operations where grinding wheel condition directly affects part finish and dimensional accuracy. It is commonly installed in surface grinders, cylindrical grinders, and tool and cutter grinders. The 7/16 inch shank makes it compatible with a wide range of standard wheel dressing tool holders and magnetic chuck-mounted dresser bases found in typical shop setups.

Key Features

• Single point diamond configuration for precise wheel truing and dressing
• 1/4 carat diamond size suitable for general-purpose grinding wheel maintenance
• 60-degree included angle for consistent contact geometry

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard grinding wheel dressing tool holders and holder blocks accepting a 7/16 inch round shank, typically found on bench grinders, surface grinders, and cylindrical grinding machines.

Installation Notes

Diamond dressers are typically installed and operated by machinists or grinding machine operators familiar with wheel dressing procedures. Before mounting, power down the grinding machine and verify the wheel is fully stopped. Secure the dresser shank firmly in the tool holder to prevent movement during dressing passes. Apply light, consistent passes across the wheel face rather than aggressive single cuts to preserve diamond life and achieve uniform wheel geometry.
