Running 1\/2 inch wide and 18 inches long, this belt carries a 240-grit aluminum oxide abrasive in a closed-coat configuration on a heavyweight X-weight cloth backing. The combination of aluminum oxide grain and closed-coat density produces consistent cut and finish on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, hardwoods, and composite surfaces. It is part of the Norton R228 series and is sized for use on small belt sanders and portable file-belt tools common in fabrication, maintenance, and tool-and-die environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis belt fits small-format belt sanders and inline file sanders that accept 1\/2 inch by 18 inch belts. The 240-grit rating places it in the very fine grade range, making it well suited for finish sanding, light deburring, and blending operations where surface scratch patterns need to be refined before final finishing. Dry operation is required — this belt is not rated for wet use. Typical applications include precision metal finishing, woodworking detail work, and contour sanding in fabrication shops and maintenance facilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e240 grit, very fine grade aluminum oxide abrasive for controlled material removal and refined surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed-coat construction maximizes abrasive coverage for consistent scratch pattern and faster stock removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eX-weight cloth backing provides flexibility and durability under load on small-format belt tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eR228 series designation for straightforward reorder and cross-referencing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry-use rated — suitable for metal, wood, and composite surfaces in fabrication and maintenance applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on belt sanders and file-belt tools that accept 1\/2 inch wide by 18 inch long abrasive belts with a cloth backing.

Power down and disconnect the tool from its power source before changing belts. Inspect the belt for tears or delamination before mounting, and confirm the tracking adjustment is within range before applying the belt to a workpiece. Follow manufacturer guidelines for maximum operating speed to prevent belt failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 240\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Very Fine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum Oxide\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: Cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBacking Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: R228\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWet\/Dry Operation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31191507\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 78072713555\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NORTON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51544597627186,"sku":"78072713555","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d245384650c9a1fd257cca02f0ebbed5.jpg?v=1785930975","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/norton-78072713555-abrasive-belt-240-grit-1-2x18-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
