Norton 66261102920 Sanding Sheet 80 Grit Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 66261102920 is an 80-grit aluminum oxide sanding sheet designed for medium-grade material removal on a wide range of surfaces. Part of the Series A211 line, this sheet uses a D-weight paper backing that provides firm support during hand sanding and orbital sanding operations. The open-coat construction reduces loading and helps the sheet stay cutting longer on wood, painted surfaces, and soft metals. It is a dry-use product and is not rated for wet or waterproof applications. Trades and fabricators who need consistent, repeatable stock removal at a medium grit will find this sheet a dependable consumable.

This sanding sheet is suited for residential and light commercial finishing work including surface preparation before painting or coating, removal of mill marks, and smoothing of rough lumber or composite materials. The open-coat aluminum oxide abrasive cuts aggressively enough for initial prep passes while leaving a surface finish appropriate for follow-up with finer grits. It is commonly used by finish carpenters, painters, and general contractors working with wood, drywall compound, and similar materials. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units per order.

Key Features

• 80-grit medium-grade aluminum oxide abrasive for efficient stock removal
• D-weight paper backing provides firm, stable support during sanding
• Open-coat construction resists loading and extends sheet life on soft materials
• Dry-use rating only — not intended for wet sanding applications
• Series A211 construction for consistent abrasive performance across the sheet

Compatibility

Designed as a standard sanding sheet replacement for use with hand sanding blocks and orbital sanders that accept sheet-format abrasives. Specific tool compatibility depends on sheet dimensions and clamp style of the sander in use.

Installation Notes

Secure the sheet firmly to the sanding block or tool clamp before use to prevent slipping during operation. Inspect the abrasive surface periodically during use and replace when loading or glazing reduces cutting performance. Always wear appropriate respiratory protection when dry sanding, as fine dust from wood, paint, and composite materials presents an inhalation hazard. Dispose of used abrasive sheets according to local regulations, particularly when sanding lead-based paint or other hazardous coatings.
