Norton 78072717165 Abrasive Belt 120 Grit 3x24 in Silicon Carbide

Product Description

The NORTON 78072717165 is a coated abrasive belt designed for surface finishing and material removal on a wide range of workpieces. Measuring 3 inches wide by 24 inches long, it uses silicon carbide abrasive at 120 grit, placing it in the fine grade range. Silicon carbide cuts hard, brittle materials efficiently and produces a consistent surface finish. The belt supports both wet and dry operation, making it suitable for applications where coolant or water is used to reduce heat and extend abrasive life. It is used by metalworkers, woodworkers, fabricators, and maintenance trades on bench-top and portable belt sanders.

This belt fits standard 3 inch by 24 inch belt sander configurations commonly found in shop and field settings. The fine 120-grit finish makes it appropriate for final-stage stock removal, surface prep before coating or finishing, and light deburring on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, ceramics, stone, and hardwoods. Wet operation capability allows use with water-fed or coolant-assisted grinding and sanding setups, which is common in metalworking and lapidary applications. Single-belt packaging allows for targeted restocking without overcommitting inventory.

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or consumable abrasive belt for 3 inch by 24 inch belt sander machines used in metalworking, woodworking, and general fabrication environments.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed with the sander unplugged or locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Confirm belt tracking and tension adjustment before resuming operation. When used wet, ensure the sander is rated for wet operation to prevent electrical hazard. Inspect the belt for tears or edge fraying before each use and replace if damaged.
