Tru-maxx TUC4C4DWE100I Dressing Stick 100 Grit Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The TRU-MAXX TUC4C4DWE100I is a rectangular aluminum oxide dressing stick used to true, dress, and open the face of grinding wheels. At 100 grit with a soft grade and vitrified bond, it removes loaded or glazed abrasive from wheel surfaces, restoring cut rate and wheel geometry. The stick measures 4 inches long by 3/4 inch wide by 3/4 inch thick and weighs 0.1 pounds. Machinists, tool and die makers, and grinding machine operators use dressing sticks as part of routine wheel maintenance to maintain consistent material removal and surface finish quality.

This dressing stick is suited for use in machine shops, tool rooms, and production grinding environments. It applies to bench grinders, surface grinders, cylindrical grinders, and similar abrasive machining equipment. The soft grade releases abrasive grains readily, making it effective on harder grinding wheels where frequent dressing is needed to keep the wheel cutting freely. White aluminum oxide construction is standard for general-purpose ferrous metal grinding applications.

Key Features

• 100 grit aluminum oxide abrasive for controlled wheel face conditioning
• Soft grade bond releases worn grains quickly, restoring wheel aggressiveness
• Vitrified bond provides consistent, uniform abrasive structure
• Rectangular form — 4 inches x 3/4 inch x 3/4 inch — easy to hand-hold during dressing
• White aluminum oxide construction suited for general ferrous grinding applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose dressing stick compatible with bench grinders, surface grinders, and cylindrical grinders that accept manual wheel dressing by stick. Verify wheel speed and hardness ratings before use.

Installation Notes

Dressing sticks are applied by a machinist or grinding machine operator — no special trade license is required, but proper machine guarding and eye protection per ANSI B11 standards are mandatory. Power down the grinder and inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before dressing. During dressing, apply the stick to the rotating wheel face with light, even pressure; never force the stick into the wheel or apply side pressure that could fracture the abrasive. Keep hands clear of the wheel face and work rest during the operation.
