Norton 66260195378 Diamond Dresser 7/16 Inch Shank

Product Description

The NORTON 66260195378 is a multi-point diamond dresser designed for truing and dressing abrasive grinding wheels. It features a 7/16-inch shank diameter and a 2-inch shank length, making it compatible with standard tool post and hand-held dressing setups found in machine shops and grinding operations. The 3/8-inch head diameter and multi-point diamond configuration allow the dresser to restore wheel profile, remove glazing, and open the wheel face for consistent stock removal. This tool is used by machinists and grinding technicians who require precise wheel conditioning to maintain cut quality and dimensional accuracy.

This diamond dresser is suited for bench grinder, surface grinder, and cylindrical grinder applications in both production and maintenance environments. It is appropriate for use on aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and similar conventional abrasive wheels. The compact shank dimensions fit common dressing fixture holders used across light industrial and tool-and-die settings.

• 7/16-inch shank diameter fits standard dressing tool holders

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or grinding equipment technician. Power down and fully stop the grinding machine before mounting or removing the dresser from the tool post or dressing fixture. Secure the shank firmly in the holder to prevent chatter during dressing. Follow equipment manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety protocols when operating dressing tools near rotating abrasive wheels.
