Norton 66261097565 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 1/4x24 in

Product Description

The NORTON 66261097565 is an aluminum oxide non-woven abrasive belt designed for light material removal, surface blending, and finishing on metal and other hard surfaces. Part of the Rapid Prep series, it measures 0.25 inches wide and 24 inches in overall length, making it suited for use on narrow-profile file belt sanders and detail finishing tools. The 80-grit medium grade cuts efficiently while leaving a consistent surface finish. The polyester Y-weight backing resists tearing under moderate tension and supports both wet and dry operation, giving the installer flexibility across different shop environments.

This belt is a fit for metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance applications where tight geometry or narrow contact areas require a slim belt profile. Typical use cases include deburring, light rust removal, weld blending, and surface prep on tubing, pipe, bar stock, and formed metal parts. The wet-dry capability makes it adaptable for applications where cutting fluid or coolant is used to manage heat and extend abrasive life. Trades commonly using this belt include pipefitters, welders, millwrights, and general maintenance mechanics working in industrial or shop environments.
