Norton 69957322958 Abrasive Belt 180 Grit 25x48 in

Product Description

The NORTON 69957322958 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry grinding, blending, and finishing on wide belt sanders and industrial stationary machines. Measuring 25 inches wide by 48 inches long, it uses aluminum oxide abrasive grain bonded to a heavy X-weight cloth backing in a closed-coat pattern at 180 grit, placing it in the very fine grade range. The closed-coat construction and X-weight cloth backing make this belt suitable for demanding material removal and surface finishing tasks where consistent scratch patterns and belt durability are required.

This belt is intended for use in industrial and professional woodworking, metalworking, and fabrication environments. The 25 x 48 inch format fits wide belt sanding machines common in cabinet shops, millwork facilities, and metal fabrication shops. At 180 grit, it is well-suited for finish passes on wood panels, light deburring on metal, and intermediate surface preparation before finer finishing steps. It is designed for dry operation only and should not be used with water or cutting fluids.

Key Features

• 180 grit aluminum oxide grain for very fine material removal and consistent finish
• Closed-coat construction minimizes grain spacing for uniform scratch patterns across the full belt surface
• X-weight cloth backing provides high tensile strength and resistance to tearing under load
• Dry-use design suitable for wood, composites, and light metal finishing applications
• Series R228 formulation engineered for extended belt life on stationary wide belt machines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard supply belt for wide belt sanders accepting 25 x 48 inch abrasive belts in industrial woodworking and metalworking applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with wide belt sanding equipment. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the belt. Verify belt tracking adjustment and tension settings per the machine manufacturer's guidelines before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for cracks or edge damage before use, and never run a damaged belt.
