Norton 69957328103 Abrasive Belt 100 Grit 37x60 in

Product Description

The NORTON 69957328103 is a coated abrasive belt engineered for demanding material removal and finishing applications. Built on a heavy-duty X-weight polyester cloth backing, this belt handles both wet and dry grinding conditions without delaminating or losing tension. The zirconia alumina abrasive grain is self-sharpening, making it well suited for aggressive stock removal on metals, weld seams, and hard alloys. At 100 grit medium grade with a closed coat density, it delivers consistent scratch patterns and extended service life compared to aluminum oxide alternatives. Fabricators, metalworkers, and maintenance professionals working with wide-belt finishing equipment will find this belt a direct fit for high-throughput operations.

This belt is designed for use on wide-belt sanders and industrial grinding machines that accept a 37-inch by 60-inch belt format. The closed coat construction maximizes abrasive coverage across the full belt face, which suits flat stock, structural steel, and plate finishing. The R823P series is built for heavy-duty shop environments where continuous wet or dry operation is required. It is commonly installed in metal fabrication shops, weld prep stations, and surface finishing lines.

Key Features

• Zirconia alumina grain provides self-sharpening action for long belt life on ferrous and hard metals
• Closed coat density maximizes abrasive surface coverage for uniform scratch pattern
• X-weight polyester cloth backing resists stretching and withstands high tension on wide-belt machines
• Rated for both wet and dry operation, compatible with coolant-assisted grinding setups
• 100 grit medium grade balances stock removal rate with surface finish quality
• Series R823P construction maintains dimensional stability across extended run times

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement abrasive belt for wide-belt sanders and industrial grinding machines requiring a 37-inch by 60-inch coated abrasive belt.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machine operator or maintenance technician familiar with wide-belt abrasive equipment. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the spent belt and seating the new one. Confirm belt tracking and tension settings per the machine manufacturer specifications before resuming operation. Inspect the contact drum or platen for wear or glazing that could cause uneven abrasive loading.
