Norton 66261055311 Abrasive Belt 320 Grit 1/2x18 in

Product Description

The NORTON 66261055311 is a non-woven aluminum oxide abrasive belt designed for fine surface finishing and surface preparation work. Measuring 0.5 inches wide by 18 inches long, this belt runs at 320 grit, placing it in the very fine grade range. The non-woven construction and Y-weight polyester backing give it flexibility and durability under both wet and dry operating conditions. It belongs to the Rapid Prep series, which is built for consistent stock removal and surface blending on metal and other hard surfaces. Fabricators, metalworkers, and maintenance technicians typically use this belt in handheld or inline belt sanders for deburring, blending, and prep work prior to finishing.

This belt is suited for light-duty to medium-duty surface conditioning tasks in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments. The 320 grit level makes it appropriate for final-stage surface prep, weld blending, and scratch refinement on metal substrates. Its wet and dry compatibility allows it to be used with cutting fluids or coolants where heat buildup or surface contamination is a concern. The non-woven aluminum oxide abrasive resists loading and maintains consistent cut throughout the belt life.
