Norton 69957307695 Abrasive Belt 150 Grit 25x48 in

Product Description

The NORTON 69957307695 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry precision sanding and finishing on wide-belt and stationary sanding machines. Built on a cloth backing with X-weight construction, the belt delivers consistent cut and durability under load. The abrasive material is aluminum oxide applied at a closed coat density, giving it a uniform, aggressive surface contact across the full 25 x 48 inch face. At 150 grit, this belt falls in the very fine grade range, making it well suited for final stock removal, surface refinement, and preparation before finishing coats. It runs dry and is part of the R228 series.

This belt is used in industrial and commercial woodworking, metal fabrication, and general manufacturing environments where wide-belt sanding machines are the primary tool. At 25 inches wide and 48 inches long, it fits large-format stationary sanding equipment common in cabinet shops, furniture production, and metal surface prep operations. The 150 grit rating makes it a go-to choice for final passes on wood panels, light deburring on mild steel, and blending weld seams on flat stock. Operators in production environments often run these belts in sequence after coarser grits to achieve a consistent, clean surface.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement belt for wide-belt sanding machines that accept 25 x 48 inch abrasive belts. Verify belt tracking, tension, and platen width specifications on your equipment before installation.

Installation Notes

Wide-belt abrasive belts should be installed by qualified machine operators following the equipment manufacturer's belt change procedure. Power down and lock out the sanding machine before removing or installing any belt. Confirm belt orientation — many abrasive belts have a preferred run direction indicated by an arrow on the backing. Check belt tracking and tension after installation before returning the machine to full-speed operation.
