Norton 78072713750 Abrasive Belt 120 Grit 3/8x13 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072713750 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry precision grinding and finishing on small contoured surfaces. Running at 120 grit, this belt falls in the fine grade range, making it well-suited for light material removal, deburring, and surface preparation work where a consistent, smooth finish is required. The aluminum oxide abrasive grain is bonded to a heavy-duty X-weight cloth backing with a closed coat density, delivering uniform cutting action and extended service life under sustained contact pressure. At 3/8 inches wide and 13 inches long, it fits compact file belt sanders commonly used in detail finishing, weld seam cleanup, and tight-clearance work. Trade professionals in HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical service will recognize this as a standard consumable for pipe prep and metal finishing tasks.

This belt is intended for dry operation on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar hard materials. Its compact 3/8 inches width makes it a practical choice for narrow-profile file belt machines used in field service and shop environments alike. Series R228 designates NORTON's aluminum oxide cloth belt line, which is widely specified for general-purpose metalworking applications including weld blending, edge finishing, and surface conditioning. Sold individually, this belt is a direct drop-in consumable for compatible file belt sanders requiring a 3/8 inch by 13 inch loop.
