Value Collection 399-1033 Silicon Carbide Finishing Stick

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 399-1033 is a three-square silicon carbide toolroom finishing stick designed for deburring, honing, and fine finishing of hard materials. At 4 inches long and 1/4 inch wide, this coarse-grade stick delivers aggressive stock removal in tight spaces and angular grooves where conventional files and stones cannot reach. Silicon carbide abrasive is well suited for cast iron, non-ferrous metals, ceramics, and hardened tool steels. The three-square profile provides three working faces in a single stick, allowing machinists and toolroom technicians to address internal angles, slots, and contoured surfaces efficiently.

This finishing stick is used in toolroom and machine shop environments for hand-finishing molds, dies, punches, and precision components. It is equally applicable in maintenance and repair operations where edge cleanup and surface refinement are required after grinding or machining. The coarse grade makes it a first-stage material removal tool, appropriate when rapid stock removal is the priority before progressing to finer abrasives. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians are the primary users.

Key Features

• Three-square profile provides three flat working faces for reaching internal angles and V-grooves
• Silicon carbide abrasive cuts hard metals, ceramics, and non-ferrous materials effectively
• Coarse grade removes stock quickly as a first-stage finishing tool
• Compact 4-inch length allows controlled hand application in confined areas
• Black silicon carbide construction resists loading on hard, dense workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose toolroom finishing stick suitable for use on cast iron, hardened steel, non-ferrous metals, ceramics, and similar hard materials requiring hand abrasive finishing.

Installation Notes

Finishing sticks are hand tools used without power equipment. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise or fixture before applying the stick to prevent movement during finishing. Use consistent, controlled strokes to maintain surface geometry. Inspect the stick periodically for loading or glazing and dress or replace as needed to maintain cutting efficiency.
