Value Collection 399-1203 Finishing Stick Fine Square

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 399-1203 is a square-profile silicon carbide toolroom finishing stick used for deburring, honing, and surface conditioning of metal parts and tooling. At 4 inches long by 1/4 inch wide by 1/4 inch thick, this compact abrasive stick is sized for precision hand work in tight areas, slots, keyways, and contoured surfaces. Silicon carbide is a hard, sharp abrasive grain that cuts efficiently on hardened steels, cast iron, ceramics, and non-ferrous metals. The fine grade makes it suitable for finishing passes and light material removal where surface quality matters more than aggressive stock removal.

This finishing stick is used in toolrooms, machine shops, and maintenance environments where close-tolerance hand stoning is part of the workflow. It is well suited for deburring machined edges, cleaning up mold and die surfaces, fitting and lapping metal components, and touching up cutting tools between grinds. The square cross-section allows the stick to reach into corners and grooves that round or triangular profiles cannot access. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians are the primary users of this type of abrasive stick.

• Fine grade for finishing passes and surface conditioning
• Square profile reaches corners, slots, and keyways
• Compact 4-inch length suits close hand work and tight clearances
• Black silicon carbide construction for consistent abrasive performance
• Lightweight at 0.11 pounds for extended hand use without fatigue

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose toolroom finishing stick suitable for hand stoning operations on hardened steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and ceramic workpieces in machine shop and maintenance settings.

Installation Notes

No power tools or mechanical mounting are required for this abrasive stick. Use with consistent hand pressure and a lubricant such as honing oil or light mineral oil to float swarf away from the cutting surface and extend stick life. Keep the stick flat against the work surface to maintain geometry and avoid rocking, which can round edges or create an uneven finish. Replace the stick when abrasive loading or glazing reduces cutting action.
