Tru-maxx TUAAFCC46Q Silicon Carbide Dressing Stick 46 Grit

Product Description

The TRU-MAXX TUAAFCC46Q is a rectangular silicon carbide dressing stick used to true, dress, and open grinding wheels in machine shop and tool room applications. At 46 grit, this stick removes loading and glazing from wheel faces quickly, restoring cut rate and surface finish quality without excessive material removal. The vitrified bond provides a rigid, free-cutting structure that holds the abrasive grain firmly during contact. Weighing 0.1 pounds, it is compact enough for bench use or in-machine dressing. Grinding wheel maintenance technicians, machinists, and tool grinders install and use this stick as standard shop consumable tooling.

This dressing stick is suited for truing and dressing aluminum oxide and other conventional abrasive grinding wheels used in surface grinding, cylindrical grinding, and bench grinder applications. The 46 grit silicon carbide abrasive is aggressive enough to condition harder, denser wheel structures. It is appropriate for both light production environments and maintenance shops where consistent wheel performance is required. The rectangular profile allows the operator to present a fresh edge as the stick wears, extending usable service life.

Key Features

• 46 grit silicon carbide abrasive for aggressive wheel dressing and loading removal
• Vitrified bond construction provides rigid, stable cutting action
• Rectangular stick profile — 6 x 1 x 1 inches — allows multiple working edges
• Gray colorway consistent with standard silicon carbide abrasive identification
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds for easy single-hand use at the grinder

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose dressing stick for conventional abrasive grinding wheels in surface, cylindrical, and bench grinding applications where a coarse-grit silicon carbide dresser is appropriate.

Installation Notes

Power down and bring the grinding wheel to a complete stop before beginning any dressing operation unless the machine is specifically set up for in-process dressing with appropriate guarding. Secure the dressing stick firmly against the wheel rest or holding fixture to prevent catch or kickback during contact. Wear approved eye protection and ensure the wheel guard is in place before resuming operation. Dispose of worn dressing stick material in accordance with local shop waste guidelines.
