Norton 78072719499 Abrasive Belt 100 Grit 1x42 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072719499 is a coated abrasive belt engineered for demanding material removal and finishing applications. Measuring 1 inch wide by 42 inches long, this belt runs on standard 1 x 42 inch belt sanders and grinders used in metalworking, fabrication, and industrial maintenance. The abrasive material is ceramic, offering aggressive and self-sharpening cutting action that outlasts aluminum oxide belts in high-stock-removal tasks. At 100 grit, this is a fine-grade belt suited for surface refining after initial stock removal or for finishing passes on metal, hardwood, and composites. A closed-coat density and heavy Y-weight polyester cloth backing provide durability and consistent cut under sustained load.

This belt is appropriate for both wet and dry operation, making it suitable for use on angle grinders, bench-mounted belt sanders, and portable belt grinding machines. It fits well in metal fabrication shops, weld cleanup operations, and general industrial maintenance environments where consistent finish quality matters. Residential woodworking and DIY applications are secondary uses. The R983 series designation identifies it within Norton's ceramic-grain belt lineup, targeted at professional and production-level sanding and grinding tasks.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians familiar with belt sander and grinder equipment. Power down and disconnect the machine from its power source before changing belts. Verify belt tracking alignment after installation and before resuming operation. Follow the machine manufacturer's guidelines for belt tension and speed ratings to avoid belt failure or premature wear.
