Norton is a valued member of both FEPA and oSa, who recognise their products' quality and safety.
RazorStar Range
Norton RazorStar® 36+ is setting the new standard in grinding productivity, efficiency, and quality. Designed for medium to high pressure metal removal in the toughest grinding applications, Norton RazorStar® features engineered shaped ceramic grain which cuts through metal with unbeatable grinding performance.
The engineered shaped ceramic grain shape with tough microstructure cuts faster and removes more material than any other conventional ceramic grain. This is combined with the highest percentage of grains applied to the backing in an upright position for razor-sharp cutting.
The benefits of longer product life are fewer abrasive changes, which means less downtime replacing the old with the new and starting over. However, the major benefit is the reduction in abrasive consumption. Consuming fewer abrasives means lower consumable cost per part.
The unique sharpness of the grain, combined with the special topsize grinding aid, which acts as a cooling lubricant to help to significantly reduce heat generation results in no thermal damage of the workpiece which means no discolouration, and no need for rework.

Norton sharpening stones are used to sharpen blades, knives, and other cutting tools. There are various methods of using the stones starting from the recommended lubricating material required such as water or oil. After this, the tool needs to be run across the stone with consistent pressure starting from a low grit and working through to higher grit levels.
If you are using a whetstone with water, rinsing the stone under running water and thoroughly drying it with a clean cloth will ensure it is ready to use next time and can improve the longevity of the stone.
