Norton 69957322962 Abrasive Belt 100 Grit 25x48 in

Product Description

The NORTON 69957322962 is a coated abrasive belt designed for demanding dry grinding, blending, and finishing applications on wide belt machines. Built on a heavyweight X-weight cloth backing, it delivers the flex and durability required for aggressive stock removal and controlled surface finishing. The abrasive material is aluminum oxide, a tough, self-fracturing grain well suited to ferrous metals, wood, and composites. At 100 grit, the belt falls in the fine grade range, making it appropriate for finish passes and surface prep work where a consistent scratch pattern is required. Fabricated in Norton's R228 series, this belt is a dependable choice for production-floor and shop environments where consistent cut rate and belt life matter.

This belt is sized at 25 inches wide by 48 inches long, fitting wide belt sanders and stroke sanders commonly used in industrial woodworking, metal fabrication, and composite finishing operations. The closed coat density maximizes grain coverage across the full belt surface, which translates to an aggressive cut at this grit level and a uniform finish across wide workpieces. Dry-operation rated, this belt is intended for use without coolant or water. It is typically installed and changed by machinists, millwrights, or finishing technicians in production or job shop settings.

Installation Notes

Belt installation and tracking adjustment should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with the specific sanding machine. Power down and lock out the machine before changing the belt. Confirm belt tension and tracking alignment before resuming operation, and inspect the belt for tears or delamination prior to each use. Follow the machine manufacturer's guidelines and applicable ANSI safety standards for abrasive belt equipment.
