Norton 780727-27695 Sanding Belt 60 Grit 6x48 Inches

Product Description

The NORTON 780727-27695 is a heavy-duty zirconia aluminum oxide abrasive belt designed for aggressive material removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Built on a Y-weight cloth backing, it delivers the rigidity and durability required for high-pressure belt sanding operations. The closed coat construction maximizes abrasive coverage across the belt surface, producing consistent scratch patterns and faster stock removal. At 60 grit coarse, this belt is suited for initial grinding passes, weld blending, and surface preparation work. Each belt measures 6 inches x 48 inches and is sold individually, with 20 belts per case available for volume orders.

This sanding belt is used in stationary and portable belt sanders common to metal fabrication shops, woodworking operations, and industrial finishing environments. The 6 inches x 48 inches size fits a wide range of bench-top and floor-standing belt sanding machines. The 60 grit rating makes it appropriate for coarse shaping, deburring, and removal of scale or surface rust on steel and other ferrous metals, as well as aggressive stock removal on hardwood and engineered lumber. Installers and operators in fabrication and finishing trades rely on this belt for demanding production-rate applications.
