Norton 66261052520 Abrasive Belt 120 Grit 2x48 in Ceramic

Product Description

The NORTON 66261052520 is a coated abrasive belt designed for precision grinding, blending, and finishing on metal and other hard materials. Part of the R980P series, this belt features ceramic alumina abrasive grain, which fractures during use to expose fresh cutting edges, maintaining consistent stock removal over the life of the belt. The closed coat density ensures aggressive, even material removal at 120 grit, placing it in the medium grade range. The Y-weight polyester backing provides the stiffness needed for high-pressure belt grinding applications performed by machinists, metal fabricators, and maintenance technicians.

This belt is sized at 2 inches wide by 48 inches long, fitting standard 2 x 48 inch belt grinders and finishing machines commonly found in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and tool rooms. The R980P series is rated for both wet and dry operation, making it suitable for applications where coolant is used to manage heat on sensitive workpieces. Typical uses include weld blending, surface conditioning, deburring, and dimensional stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Key Features

• Ceramic alumina abrasive grain self-sharpens during use for extended belt life
• 120 grit medium grade delivers a balance of stock removal and surface finish
• Closed coat construction maximizes abrasive coverage for consistent cut rate
• Y-weight polyester backing resists stretching under high contact pressure
• Rated for both wet and dry operation, compatible with coolant use
• R980P series construction suited for high-pressure grinding applications

Compatibility

Designed to fit standard 2 x 48 inch belt grinders and abrasive belt finishing machines that accept a 2-inch wide by 48-inch long belt.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or equipment operators following the belt grinder manufacturer's belt-change procedure. Disconnect and lock out power to the machine before replacing the belt. Verify belt tracking and tension before resuming operation, and confirm the arrow on the belt back aligns with the intended direction of travel if directional markings are present. Always wear appropriate eye and hand protection when handling and operating abrasive belts.
