Norton High Performance Grit Tools are used in the same manner as multi-point tools, but are designed to produce a superior finish. They are used on 120 - 150 grit wheels. The traverse rates are equal to or faster than ordinary tools. Mounted on standard shanks, standard High Performance Grit Tools have a 3/8" wide by .100" thick diamond impregnated blade with a greater number of sharp points than in conventional multi-point tools.
Since High Performance Grit Tools contain a higher concentration of diamond than found in standard multi-point tools, they are well suited for Norton SG (ceramic) applications.
