Norton 66260195096 Diamond Dresser 7/16 in Shank

Product Description

The NORTON 66260195096 is a multi-point diamond dresser designed for truing and dressing grinding wheels in precision grinding applications. The tool features a 7/16-inch shank diameter and a 3/8-inch head diameter with a 3/8-inch head length, making it suited for bench grinders, surface grinders, and cylindrical grinding machines. Weighing just 0.04 pounds, this compact dresser is handled by machinists, tool-and-die workers, and grinding technicians who require consistent wheel geometry and surface finish. The multi-point diamond configuration distributes wear across several diamond points, extending tool life compared to single-point designs.

This diamond dresser is used in machine shops, production grinding cells, and maintenance environments where grinding wheel condition directly affects part tolerance and finish quality. It is appropriate for dressing vitrified, resinoid, and aluminum oxide wheels across a range of grit sizes. The 2R-K shape designation indicates its specific dresser profile, which suits general-purpose truing operations on straight and formed wheel faces.

Installation Notes

Diamond dressers are installed by machinists or grinding technicians. Power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing the dresser from its holder or chuck. Ensure the shank is seated squarely and clamped securely before resuming wheel rotation. Always dress at the recommended feed rate for the wheel type to avoid premature diamond wear or wheel glazing.
