Norton 78072721275 Abrasive Belt 120 Grit 2x60 Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 78072721275 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry material removal on belt sanders and similar abrasive machinery. It runs 2 inches wide by 60 inches in overall length and carries a 120-grit aluminum oxide abrasive, placing it in the fine-grade cutting range. The aluminum oxide grain is bonded in a closed-coat pattern to an X-weight cloth backing, which provides the rigidity and tear resistance required for sustained stock removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. This belt is part of the Series R228 line and is sold as a single unit.

This belt is suited for finishing and intermediate stock removal in fabrication shops, maintenance environments, and production grinding applications. The 2 inches by 60 inches format fits a range of stationary and portable belt sanders commonly used by metalworkers, pipefitters, welders, and general trades. The dry-only rating limits use to applications where coolant or water is not introduced. The 120-grit fine grade is appropriate for surface finishing, blending welds, and preparing substrates before coating or inspection.

Key Features

• 120-grit aluminum oxide abrasive for fine material removal and surface finishing
• Closed-coat density maximizes grain coverage for consistent scratch pattern
• X-weight cloth backing resists tearing under tension on belt sander platens
• Dry-use rated — no coolant or water exposure
• Series R228 construction for uniform performance across the belt surface
• Standard 2 inches by 60 inches format fits widely available belt sander models

Compatibility

Designed for use on stationary and portable belt sanders accepting a 2-inch by 60-inch abrasive belt in dry grinding and finishing applications.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed with the sander unplugged or locked out per applicable electrical safety procedures. Verify belt tracking alignment before resuming operation to prevent edge wear or belt failure. Inspect the platen and contact wheel for wear or debris that could cause uneven belt loading. Do not use this belt with water, cutting fluid, or other liquid coolants, as it is rated for dry use only.
