Norton 69957398028 Abrasive Belt 60 Grit Ceramic Alumina

Product Description

The NORTON 69957398028 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive material removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. It measures 3/4 inches wide by 18 inches in overall length and uses a ceramic alumina abrasive grain at 60 grit, placing it firmly in the coarse grade range. The ceramic alumina construction delivers a self-sharpening cut that holds up under heat and pressure, making it well-suited for high-contact grinding and finishing applications. The Y-weight polyester backing resists stretching and tearing under load. This belt supports both wet and dry operation, adding flexibility across different shop and field setups.

The R980P series belt is built for demanding stock removal and edge work on fabricated metal parts, weldments, and structural components. The closed coat density maximizes grain coverage across the belt face, which translates to faster, more consistent material removal per pass. Typical users include metalworking shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance technicians running bench-top or portable belt grinders. The 3/4 by 18 inch size fits a range of compact and handheld belt grinder configurations commonly found in trade and industrial settings.
