Norton 66261131652 Sanding Sheet 80 Grit Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 66261131652 is an 80-grit aluminum oxide sanding sheet designed for dry material removal on wood, metal, and composite surfaces. It carries a medium grade designation and features a B-weight paper backing, which provides enough stiffness for flat-surface hand sanding while remaining flexible enough to conform to mild contours. The open coat density reduces loading on softer materials, allowing the abrasive to cut longer before the sheet needs to be replaced. This sheet is part of the Series A275 line, intended for general-purpose stock removal and surface preparation tasks performed by contractors, finish carpenters, and fabricators.

This sanding sheet is suited to residential and light commercial applications where dry sanding is required. Typical uses include leveling wood filler, scuffing primer coats, removing mill scale from ferrous metal, and preparing surfaces ahead of finishing. The dry-only rating and non-waterproof construction make it appropriate for bench sanding, orbital pad use, or hand-block sanding in controlled shop or jobsite environments where moisture is not a factor.

Key Features

• 80-grit aluminum oxide abrasive for medium-grade stock removal
• B-weight paper backing balances stiffness and flexibility for flat-surface work
• Open coat construction resists loading on wood and soft materials
• Dry-use rated, non-waterproof — suited for shop and jobsite sanding tasks
• Series A275 designation for consistent grit and backing specification across bulk orders

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement sanding sheet for use with compatible hand blocks and orbital sanding tools that accept the corresponding sheet size. Verify sheet dimensions against your tool or block before ordering.

Installation Notes

Secure the sheet firmly to the sanding block or tool pad before use to prevent slipping and uneven wear. Wear appropriate respiratory protection when dry sanding, as fine dust from wood, metal, and composite materials poses an inhalation hazard. Inspect the sheet periodically during use and replace when abrasive loading or glazing reduces cutting efficiency. Do not use this sheet with water or liquid lubricants, as the non-waterproof backing will degrade.
