Norton 66260195031 Diamond Dresser 7/16 Inch Shank

Product Description

The NORTON 66260195031 is a multi-point diamond dresser designed for truing and dressing grinding wheels in precision machining and metalworking operations. Diamond dressers restore the correct profile and cutting ability to grinding wheels that have become glazed, loaded, or out of round. This dresser features a 7/16 inch shank diameter and a 1A-A shape profile, making it suited for use in surface, cylindrical, and tool and cutter grinding applications. The head is 5/16 inch thick with a 3/4 inch head length. It is typically installed and operated by machinists and grinding machine operators in production and maintenance shop environments.

This diamond dresser is used in shops where grinding wheel condition directly affects surface finish and dimensional accuracy. Multi-point diamond dressers distribute wear across several diamond points, extending tool life compared to single-point designs. The 1A-A shape designation indicates a standard flat-face form suited to straight wheel dressing. Applicable in both manual and CNC grinding machine setups, this dresser handles routine maintenance dressing as well as form restoration tasks.

• 5/16 inch head thickness with 3/4 inch head length for consistent contact geometry

Installation Notes

Diamond dressers are installed and operated by qualified machinists or grinding machine operators. Power down and lock out the grinding machine before mounting or removing the dresser from its holder. Secure the shank firmly in the dresser holder to prevent movement during the dressing pass. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety standards for wheel dressing feed rate and depth of cut.
