Norton 69957325707 Abrasive Belt 120 Grit 37x60 in

Product Description

The NORTON 69957325707 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry grinding, blending, and finishing applications on wide belt sanders and industrial surface preparation equipment. Built on a heavy X-weight cloth backing, this belt carries 120-grit aluminum oxide abrasive in an open-coat configuration across a 37-inch by 60-inch working surface. Open-coat density reduces loading on softer or resinous materials, extending belt life between changes. The R215 series construction delivers consistent cut rate and surface finish, making it a reliable choice for production-floor and job-site finishing work handled by machinists, metal fabricators, woodworkers, and industrial maintenance technicians.

This belt fits wide-platen and wide-drum belt sanding machines configured for a 37-inch by 60-inch belt. At 120 grit, it falls in the medium range and is suited for intermediate stock removal, blending weld seams, removing mill scale from flat steel stock, leveling wood panels, or transitioning between coarser and finer grits in a multi-stage finishing sequence. Dry operation only — this belt is not rated for wet or coolant-flooded grinding processes.

Key Features

• 120-grit aluminum oxide abrasive delivers medium cut for blending and intermediate stock removal
• X-weight cloth backing provides high tensile strength and resistance to tearing under heavy feed pressure
• Open-coat construction minimizes loading and extends usable belt life on wood, painted surfaces, and soft metals
• R215 series coated abrasive platform offers consistent grit distribution and predictable finish results
• Dry operation rating — no coolant or water exposure required or recommended
• 37-inch by 60-inch size fits standard wide belt sanding machine configurations

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or production-supply coated abrasive belt for wide belt sanders and drum sanders configured to accept a 37-inch by 60-inch belt. Confirm machine belt-path specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Belt installation and machine setup should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with wide belt sanding equipment. Always power down and lock out the machine before threading or tensioning a new belt. Verify proper belt tracking alignment before bringing the machine back to full operating speed, as a misaligned belt can cause rapid edge wear or belt failure. Inspect the belt splice and backing for defects prior to each use.
