Norton 78072701170 Abrasive Belt 36 Grit 2x60 Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 78072701170 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive material removal on belt sanders and stationary grinding equipment. Built on a heavy-duty X-weight cloth backing, it uses aluminum oxide abrasive grain in a closed-coat configuration at 36 grit, placing it firmly in the very coarse grade range. This combination delivers fast, consistent stock removal on metal, wood, and composite materials. The belt measures 2 inches wide by 60 inches long, suiting it to bench-top and pedestal belt sander setups common in fabrication and maintenance shops. It is intended for dry operation only.

This belt is a fit for metalworking, woodworking, and general fabrication environments where rapid material removal is the priority. At 36 grit, it is typically the first step in a multi-stage sanding or grinding sequence, used to remove scale, weld seam material, old coatings, or to shape raw stock before progressing to finer grits. It is used by machinists, fabricators, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working with bench or pedestal belt sander equipment.
