Norton 78072721290 Abrasive Belt 60 Grit 2x60 Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 78072721290 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive material removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Running 2 inches wide by 60 inches in overall length, this belt carries a 60-grit aluminum oxide abrasive on an X-weight cloth backing with closed coat density. The X-weight backing provides high tensile strength for use on stationary belt grinders and power file machines operating under heavy stock-removal loads. Part of the R228 series, it is engineered for dry operation only. Installation is straightforward and it is a standard consumable replaced by HVAC fabricators, metal fabricators, welders, and general maintenance technicians.

This belt is suited for coarse-grit applications where rapid stock removal is the priority. The closed-coat aluminum oxide grain covers the full backing surface, maximizing cut rate on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, hardwoods, and painted surfaces. It is appropriate for use in industrial, commercial, and trade shop environments wherever a 2 inch by 60 inch belt grinder or file belt machine is in service. Dry-only operation means it should not be used with water, cutting fluids, or coolant systems.

Key Features

• 60-grit coarse aluminum oxide abrasive for fast, aggressive stock removal
• X-weight cloth backing delivers high strength and flexibility under load
• Closed-coat construction maximizes grain coverage for consistent cut rate
• Dry-only rated — not compatible with wet or coolant-fed grinding setups
• R228 series design balances durability and cut life on hard materials
• Standard 2 inch x 60 inch size fits a wide range of stationary belt grinders and power files

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement abrasive belt for stationary belt grinders and power file machines accepting a 2 inch by 60 inch belt in dry-operation configurations.

Installation Notes

Abrasive belts of this type are installed by machinists, metal fabricators, and maintenance technicians. Power down and lockout the belt grinder before changing belts. Verify the belt tracking direction arrow aligns with machine rotation before starting the unit. Inspect the contact wheel and platen for wear or debris that could cause uneven belt loading or premature failure.
