Norton 69957323870 Abrasive Belt 120 Grit 36x75 in

Product Description

The NORTON 69957323870 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry stock removal and surface finishing on wide-belt sanding machines. Built on a heavy X-weight cloth backing, it runs the R215 series configuration with open-coat aluminum oxide grain at 120 grit, a fine grade that balances cut rate with surface finish quality. At 36 inches wide and 75 inches long, this belt fits large industrial and cabinet-shop wide-belt sanders. It is suited for production environments where consistent scratch patterns and extended belt life are priorities. Fabricators, millworkers, and industrial maintenance technicians are the typical end users.

This belt is used in dry sanding applications on wood, wood composites, and similar materials where a fine scratch pattern is required before finishing. The open-coat construction reduces loading on resinous or soft materials, extending usable belt life between changes. The X-weight cloth backing provides the tensile strength needed to run under tension on wide-belt equipment without stretching or tracking issues. Typical installations include furniture manufacturing, cabinet production, flooring finishing lines, and general fabrication shops running wide-belt or stroke-sander configurations.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by qualified machine operators or maintenance technicians following the equipment manufacturer's tracking and tensioning procedures. Power down and lockout the sander before changing belts. Verify belt orientation arrow matches the machine's direction of travel before tensioning. Inspect the platen and contact drum for wear or debris before mounting a new belt.
