Norton 69957329014 Abrasive Belt 120 Grit 36x75 in

Product Description

The NORTON 69957329014 is a coated abrasive belt designed for heavy-stock removal and surface finishing on metal, wood, and composite materials. Measuring 36 inches wide by 75 inches long, it carries a 120-grit zirconia alumina abrasive on a heavyweight polyester cloth backing rated X-weight for rigidity and durability under load. The closed-coat density maximizes abrasive coverage across the belt surface, delivering consistent cut rates and uniform finish quality. This belt is part of the R823P series and supports both wet and dry operation, making it suitable for high-production grinding and finishing lines where coolant is used to manage heat and extend belt life.

This belt is built for industrial and fabrication environments where wide-format belt grinders, stroke sanders, or combination machines handle large workpieces. Typical applications include flat stock grinding, weld blending, scale removal, and intermediate finishing passes on structural steel, stainless, aluminum, and hardwood panels. The 36-inch width suits wide-platen and drum-style machines commonly found in metal fabrication shops, millwork facilities, and large-format woodworking operations. At 120 grit medium cut, it fits well as a finishing step after coarser stock-removal passes.

Key Features

• Zirconia alumina abrasive for aggressive cut and long service life on metal and wood
• X-weight polyester cloth backing provides flexibility and resistance to tearing under tension
• Closed-coat construction maximizes grit density for consistent surface finish
• Supports wet and dry operation for compatibility with coolant-fed grinding machines
• R823P series construction engineered for wide-format belt grinding equipment
• 120 grit delivers medium finishing suitable for weld blending and surface prep

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for wide-format belt grinders and stroke sanders accepting 36 x 75 inch abrasive belts in industrial fabrication and woodworking applications.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with the specific grinder or sander model in use. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing belts, and verify belt tracking alignment before resuming operation. Check the belt for proper tension per the machine manufacturer guidelines to prevent slipping or premature edge wear. Ensure the belt arrow direction, if marked, matches the machine rotation direction prior to startup.
