Norton 66261003177 Abrasive Belt 1/2x12 Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 66261003177 is a non-woven abrasive belt designed for surface preparation, blending, and finishing on metal and other hard materials. Part of the Norton Rapid Prep series, this belt measures 0.5 inches wide by 12 inches long and uses aluminum oxide abrasive in a coarse grade for aggressive material removal and surface conditioning. The polyester backing with a Y-weight rating provides durability under load. It supports both wet and dry operation, making it adaptable to a range of shop and field conditions. HVAC techs, pipefitters, and metal fabricators commonly use belts of this type for pipe prep, weld blending, and rust removal.

This belt fits compact belt sanders and die grinders equipped with a 0.5-inch by 12-inch belt drive. It is suited for residential and light commercial metalworking tasks including surface prep before brazing or welding, deburring tubing, and cleaning oxidized surfaces. The non-woven construction conforms to irregular surfaces better than coated abrasive belts, which is useful on pipe fittings and curved workpieces. It is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 24 units.
