Norton 66260195055 Diamond Dresser 7/16 Inch Shank

Product Description

The NORTON 66260195055 is a multi-point diamond dresser used to true and dress abrasive grinding wheels. It restores the cutting face of a wheel to the correct profile and removes glazing caused by metal loading. The 7/16 inch shank diameter fits standard tool-post and holder setups found on surface grinders, cylindrical grinders, and bench grinders. The head measures 3/8 inch in length with a 1/4 inch thickness, making it a compact tool suited for precision dressing tasks. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and grinding machine operators use this type of dresser as a routine maintenance tool to maintain wheel geometry and cutting efficiency.

This diamond dresser is appropriate for use in toolroom, production grinding, and machine shop environments where wheel condition directly affects surface finish and dimensional accuracy. The multi-point configuration distributes wear across multiple diamond points, extending service life compared to single-point styles. It is suited for dressing aluminum oxide and silicon carbide wheels on both manual and semi-automatic grinding equipment. The 3A-F shape designation indicates it is designed for flat-face dressing applications.

Installation Notes

Diamond dressers are installed and used by machinists or toolroom technicians. Before mounting or using the dresser, power down the grinding machine and allow the wheel to come to a complete stop. Secure the shank firmly in the tool-post holder to prevent movement during dressing. Always wear appropriate eye protection when dressing grinding wheels, and follow the machine manufacturer's recommended dressing angle and feed rate for the wheel specification in use.
