ISO 603-10:1999/Cor 1:1999

Overview

ISO 603-10:1999/Cor 1:1999 is Part 10 of the ISO 603 series on bonded abrasive products - dimensions. Part 10 covers stones for honing and superfinishing and is issued as a Technical Corrigendum to the original 1999 series. The corrigendum was prepared by ISO/TC 29, Subcommittee SC 5 (Grinding wheels and abrasives) and published on 1999-11-15. It corrects a normative reference in paragraph 5 by replacing ISO 3290:1976 with ISO 3920:1976.

This corrigendum does not change the intent of the dimensional requirements for bonded abrasive stones but ensures referenced standards are accurate for consistent interpretation and application.

Key Topics

• Series context: ISO 603 comprises Parts 1–16, covering a wide range of bonded abrasive products and grinding wheel types; Part 10 specifically addresses honing and superfinishing stones.
• Dimensional requirements: The standard provides the framework for stone dimensions and tolerances so manufacturers and users can ensure compatibility and interchangeability.
• Normative reference update: Paragraph 5 replaces the cited ISO reference (ISO 3290:1976) with the correct reference (ISO 3920:1976) to maintain normative accuracy.
• Technical governance: Prepared and issued by ISO/TC 29 SC 5, reflecting consensus among experts in small tools and abrasives.

Applications

The guidance in ISO 603-10:1999/Cor 1:1999 is practical for organizations engaged in the manufacture, procurement, inspection and application of bonded abrasive stones used for finishing operations. Typical applications and benefits include:

• Manufacturing & QA: Ensures stones are produced to consistent dimensional criteria, simplifying quality control and production planning.
• Procurement: Buyers can reference the standard to specify acceptable stone dimensions and ensure supplier compliance.
• Maintenance & Tooling: Workshops and tool rooms use the standard to select replacement stones that fit existing fixtures and holders.
• Process consistency: Honing and superfinishing operations benefit from predictable stone geometry, supporting repeatable surface-finish outcomes.

Related Standards

• ISO 603 (parts 1–16):1999 - full series covering grinding wheels and bonded abrasive products across multiple applications.
• ISO 3920:1976 - the corrected normative reference cited in the corrigendum (replaces ISO 3290:1976 in paragraph 5).
• Other ISO 603 parts relevant for related abrasive product dimensions (e.g., external cylindrical grinding, internal grinding, surface grinding).

For practitioners, referencing the corrigendum alongside the main Part 10 text ensures accurate normative links and supports correct specification of bonded abrasive stones for honing and superfinishing. Always consult the published corrigendum together with the base standard when drafting specifications, procurement documents, or inspection criteria.
