Pearl DCS82160 8″ x 1-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ C60 Dressing Stick

This Pearl Abrasive C60 dressing stick is designed for restoring the cutting surface of vitrified and resin-bond grinding wheels used on bench grinders, pedestal grinders, and toolroom machines. Measuring 8″ x 1-1/2″ x 1-1/2″, it gives users enough length and surface area for steady control while cleaning, opening, and truing glazed wheels. Manufactured from silicon carbide, the stick cuts aggressively to remove loaded material and expose fresh abrasive on the wheel, improving grind quality and keeping temperatures in check. Use it dry to maintain wheel performance, reduce chatter, and extend wheel life in metalworking, fabrication, and general maintenance tasks.

Often called a jointer stick or conditioning stick, the DCS82160 also works well for quick touch-ups on small stones and for squaring wheel edges before precision grinding. The C60 grade provides a practical balance of cutting action and surface finish, making it suitable for routine shop maintenance where consistent, predictable results matter. For technicians, machinists, and advanced DIY users, this is a reliable way to keep wheels cutting true between full re-dress operations.

Why Professionals Choose the Pearl 8″ x 1-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ C60 Dressing Stick

Crews pick the Pearl C60 dressing stick because it quickly restores a grinding wheel’s bite without extra setup. On a bench grinder or pedestal grinder, a few steady passes remove loading, open the pores, and bring back a clean cutting face—critical for keeping heat down and finish quality up. Machinists use it as a dependable grinding wheel dresser, while fabricators keep one nearby for routine touch-ups between jobs. As a jointer stick, it squares wheel edges before fine work and leaves the wheel ready for accurate grinding. With silicon carbide construction and a practical 8″ size, technicians get predictable results that keep grinding efficient and maintenance simple.
