Norton 78072701019 Abrasive Belt 36 Grit 2x60 Ceramic

Product Description

The NORTON 78072701019 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive material removal in grinding, blending, and finishing operations. Built on a heavyweight polyester cloth backing with a closed-coat ceramic grain layout, this belt delivers consistent cut rate and long service life under both wet and dry operating conditions. At 36 grit, it falls in the very coarse range, making it well suited for rapid stock removal on metal, weld seams, and hard surfaces. The R983 series construction pairs a Y-weight backing with ceramic abrasive for high-pressure belt grinding applications.

This belt fits standard 2 inch by 60 inch belt grinders and finishing machines common in metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial service environments. The ceramic grain is a preferred choice when working on hardened steels, stainless, and other difficult-to-grind alloys where aluminum oxide grains wear prematurely. Wet or dry compatibility allows use with coolant-assisted grinding setups as well as dry freehand operations. Sold individually, this belt is appropriate for trade professionals and production shops that require consistent, repeatable abrasive performance.

Compatibility

Designed to fit belt grinders and abrasive finishing machines with a 2 inch by 60 inch belt capacity. Confirm platen and contact wheel dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the machine manufacturer's guidelines. Power down and lock out the grinder before changing belts. Verify belt tracking direction, as most coated abrasive belts are directional and should run with the arrow marked on the backing. Inspect the contact wheel and platen for wear or debris before mounting a new belt.
