Norton 78072721051 Abrasive Belt 120 Grit 1x18 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 78072721051 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry material removal on portable and stationary belt sanders. It runs 1 inch wide and 18 inches long, with 120-grit aluminum oxide abrasive in a fine grade. The closed-coat construction packs abrasive grain densely across the belt surface, delivering consistent cut and finish. An X-weight cloth backing provides the flexibility and tensile strength needed to handle edge work, contour sanding, and flat surface finishing across metals, wood, and composites. This belt suits trade shops, fabrication environments, and maintenance technicians who need reliable abrasive performance in a standard 1 x 18 inch form factor.

The 78072721051 fits 1 inch by 18 inch belt sander configurations commonly found in trade and light industrial settings. It is suited for deburring, blending welds, removing mill scale, and surface prep on ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as wood substrates. The dry-only operation designation means it should not be used with water or cutting fluids. Typical users include metal fabricators, pipefitters, maintenance mechanics, and woodworkers who need a fine-grade belt for finish passes or controlled stock removal.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement abrasive belt for belt sanders and grinders accepting a 1 inch by 18 inch belt.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians. Always power down and unplug the belt sander before changing belts. Confirm belt tracking alignment before resuming operation, and verify the arrow or directional marking on the belt matches the sander's direction of travel. Do not use this belt with coolants or liquids — dry operation only.
