Norton 63642596940 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit Ceramic Alumina

Product Description

The NORTON 63642596940 is a ceramic alumina coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive material removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Running 0.25 inches wide and 24 inches long, this belt fits compact file belt sanders and narrow-profile finishing tools used in fabrication and maintenance work. The R980P series uses a closed-coat construction on a Y-weight polyester backing, delivering the stiffness and durability needed for both wet and dry grinding operations. At 80 grit coarse grade, it cuts fast and holds up under sustained pressure, making it a go-to choice for deburring, weld blending, and surface preparation work.

This belt is suited for trade and industrial applications where tight-clearance sanding is required, such as pipe fitting preparation, weld seam finishing, and precision metalwork in fabrication shops or field service. The narrow 0.25-inch width allows access to grooves, slots, and confined areas that wider belts cannot reach. Wet or dry operation gives the installer flexibility depending on the workpiece material and cooling requirements.

Key Features

• Ceramic alumina abrasive for fast, aggressive cutting on hard metals and alloys
• Closed-coat construction maximizes abrasive surface contact for efficient stock removal
• Y-weight polyester backing provides high stiffness and tear resistance under load
• Wet and dry compatible for flexible use across different materials and conditions
• 80 grit coarse grade suited for deburring, weld blending, and surface prep
• Narrow 0.25-inch width accesses grooves, slots, and tight-clearance areas

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit abrasive belt for narrow file belt sanders and abrasive finishing tools accepting a 0.25 inch by 24 inch belt size.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians using compatible file belt or abrasive finishing equipment. Ensure the sander is powered off and unplugged before changing belts. Verify belt tracking alignment before resuming operation to prevent edge wear or belt failure. Follow the tool manufacturer's guidelines for belt tension and maximum operating speed.
