Running 1-1\/2 inches wide and 60 inches long, it fits standard belt grinders and finishing machines in that size class. The abrasive material is ceramic, a self-sharpening grain that maintains cut rate under heavy pressure and heat. At 36 grit, this is a very coarse grade belt suited for rapid stock removal, weld blending, and surface prep ahead of finer finishing passes. It belongs to the R983 series and is backed by a heavy-duty Y-weight polyester cloth with a closed-coat configuration for maximum grain coverage per square inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis belt is rated for both wet and dry operation, making it adaptable to shop environments where coolant or water is used to control heat during grinding. Typical applications include pipe fabrication, structural steel prep, weld seam removal, and heavy deburring. Metalworkers, fabricators, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary users. The closed-coat ceramic construction handles high-contact-pressure work without loading quickly, which extends belt life compared to aluminum oxide alternatives at the same grit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCeramic abrasive grain for self-sharpening, high-cut-rate performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e36 grit very coarse grade for rapid stock removal and weld blending\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClosed-coat configuration maximizes grain density across the belt surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eY-weight polyester cloth backing handles high-tension and high-heat applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWet and dry compatible for use with or without coolant\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eR983 series construction for consistent performance across the belt life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to fit belt grinders and abrasive finishing machines that accept a 1-1\/2 inch wide by 60 inch long belt configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall on a belt grinder or abrasive machine rated for the 1-1\/2 by 60 inch belt size. Power down and de-energize the machine fully before changing belts. Inspect the contact wheel, platen, and tracking mechanism for wear before mounting a new belt. Ensure belt tension and tracking are set per the machine manufacturer specifications before resuming operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 60 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Very Coarse\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ceramic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoat Density\u003c\/strong\u003e: Closed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBacking Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polyester Cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBacking Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: Y\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWet\/Dry Operation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wet and Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: R983\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31191507\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: NORTON\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 78072705830\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NORTON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541579006258,"sku":"78072705830","price":20.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/eca28d38b00524e878806591229286f5.jpg?v=1785879733","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/norton-78072705830-abrasive-belt-36-grit-1-1-2-x-60-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
