Norton 076607-00968 Sanding Belt 80 Grit 3x18 Inches

Product Description

The NORTON 076607-00968 is an aluminum oxide abrasive sanding belt designed for portable belt sander applications across metal fabrication and woodworking trades. Running at 80 grit medium, this belt delivers consistent stock removal and surface blending for professionals who move between grinding, finishing, and polishing tasks. The aluminum oxide grain is self-sharpening under load, which helps maintain cut rate across the full life of the belt. At 3 inches wide and 18 inches long, it fits the most common portable belt sander configurations used in field and shop environments. Weighing 0.3 pounds per unit, it is a practical consumable for high-frequency use.

This belt is suited for grinding and finishing all metals, including blending of welds and cleaning mill scale. It also performs well on wood sanding and finishing tasks, as well as glass seaming and polishing operations. Typical users include metal fabricators, welders, woodworkers, and glaziers who require a single versatile abrasive that transitions across materials. The medium grit rating makes it most appropriate for intermediate stock removal and surface prep rather than final finish or heavy hogging.

Installation Notes

Loading and replacing abrasive belts should be performed with the sander unplugged or its power source fully de-energized. Confirm belt tracking and tension before powering the tool back on. Inspect the belt for tears or delamination before each use, and discard any belt showing visible damage to avoid workpiece gouging or belt failure under load.
