Tru-maxx TUA2A2FCC24S Silicon Carbide Dressing Stick 24 Grit

Product Description

The TRU-MAXX TUA2A2FCC24S is a rectangular silicon carbide dressing stick used to true, dress, and open the face of grinding wheels. At 24 grit, this stick is on the coarse end of the scale, making it well suited for aggressive wheel reconditioning where a fast cut and open wheel face are the priority. The vitrified bond holds the silicon carbide abrasive in a rigid, porous matrix that fractures cleanly during use, continuously exposing fresh cutting edges. Measuring 6 inches in length with a 0.5 x 0.5 inch rectangular cross-section, it fits comfortably in the hand and works across a range of bench and pedestal grinder setups.

This dressing stick is used in machine shops, fabrication shops, and tool rooms to restore grinding wheels that have become glazed, loaded with swarf, or out of true. It is a standard consumable for grinding wheel maintenance on conventional abrasive wheels. Machinists, tool grinders, and maintenance technicians use dressing sticks routinely as part of wheel care between jobs or when changing materials being ground. The coarse 24 grit rating makes this version particularly effective on softer or coarser grinding wheels that need a heavier cut to open up.

Key Features

• 24 grit silicon carbide abrasive for aggressive wheel dressing and reconditioning
• Vitrified bond provides a rigid, porous structure that fractures cleanly during dressing
• Rectangular profile measures 6 x 0.5 x 0.5 inches for secure hand grip and controlled contact
• Gray color consistent with standard silicon carbide vitrified dressing sticks

Compatibility

Designed for use as a dressing stick on conventional vitrified and resinoid abrasive grinding wheels used in bench, pedestal, and surface grinder applications.

Installation Notes

Dressing sticks are used by hand at the grinding wheel — no power tools or mounting hardware required. Always ensure the grinder is running at rated speed before applying the stick and use the tool rest for support and control. Wear appropriate eye protection and keep hands clear of the wheel face. Follow the grinder manufacturer guidelines and applicable ANSI B11 or OSHA machine guarding requirements when servicing grinding equipment.
