Norton 78072720885 Abrasive Belt 120 Grit 1x42 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072720885 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry stock removal and finishing on a range of materials. Built on a heavy-duty X-weight cloth backing, this belt runs on standard 1-inch belt grinders and file belt sanders common in trade shops and field maintenance work. The aluminum oxide abrasive is applied at a closed coat density for consistent cut and surface contact across the full belt face. At 120 grit, it sits in the medium range, making it suited for blending welds, smoothing metal surfaces, and light material removal without leaving deep scratch patterns.

This belt fits 1-inch-wide belt sanding machines used in metal fabrication shops, HVAC duct work, plumbing rough-in, and general mechanical maintenance. The R228 series cloth construction holds up to the heat and tension generated in continuous belt grinding operations. The dry-only rating means it should not be used with cutting fluids or water. Sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 50 units per order.
