Norton 66261180005 Sanding Sheet 180 Grit Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 66261180005 is a coated abrasive sanding sheet designed for dry material removal in finishing and surface preparation applications. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive grain on a J-weight cloth backing, this sheet delivers consistent cut and durability across a range of substrates. At 180 grit, it falls in the fine grade range, making it well-suited for finish sanding, light stock removal, and surface smoothing before coating or finishing. The closed-coat density provides full abrasive coverage for efficient material removal, and the load-resistant construction helps reduce clogging during use. The sheet measures 9 inches wide by 11 inches long and weighs 0.08 pounds.

This sanding sheet is intended for dry use only and is not rated for wet or wet-dry applications. It suits hand sanding blocks and compatible sheet-pad sanders in woodworking, metal fabrication, automotive bodywork prep, and general maintenance finishing. Fine 180 grit is commonly applied in the intermediate-to-final stages of surface prep, particularly when a smooth, uniform surface is required before primer, paint, or clear coat application. It is appropriate for use by finish carpenters, fabricators, painters, and maintenance technicians working on both wood and metal surfaces.

Installation Notes

This sheet is intended for dry use only — do not expose to water or wet surfaces during sanding. Secure the sheet firmly to the sanding block or pad clamps before use to prevent slipping. Inspect the sheet before each use and replace when abrasive grain appears worn or loading is excessive. Dispose of used abrasive sheets in accordance with local waste regulations.
