Norton 69957303082 Abrasive Belt 60 Grit 25x48 in

Product Description

The NORTON 69957303082 is a coated abrasive belt designed for heavy-stock removal and surface conditioning on industrial and commercial grinding or sanding equipment. Built on a heavy X-weight cloth backing with a closed-coat aluminum oxide grain at 60 grit, this belt delivers consistent, aggressive cutting action across a wide contact area. At 25 inches wide and 48 inches long, it fits large-format belt grinders and wide-belt sanders used in metal fabrication, woodworking, and general industrial finishing. This is a dry-use belt from the NORTON R228 series, suited for production-level applications where repeatable material removal rates matter.

This belt is intended for use on wide-belt sanding machines and large open-throat belt grinders found in metal fabrication shops, millwork operations, and industrial finishing lines. The 60-grit medium grade makes it appropriate for initial stock removal, weld blending, and surface leveling passes before transitioning to finer grits. It is sold individually and ordered in single-unit quantities, making it practical for replacement on an as-needed basis in production or maintenance environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel following the machine manufacturer's belt tracking and tensioning procedures. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the worn belt or installing a new one. Verify belt direction arrows align with the machine's drive direction before startup. Do not use this belt with water, coolants, or wet-sanding fluids, as it is rated for dry operation only.
