Built on an X-weight cloth backing, this belt delivers the rigidity and durability needed for demanding stock removal work. The aluminum oxide abrasive grain is closed-coat applied, meaning grain coverage is dense across the full belt surface, which translates to consistent cut rate throughout the belt's life. At 36 grit, this belt falls in the extra coarse range, making it the right choice for rapid shaping, weld blending, and heavy surface prep. Dry operation only. Measuring 2 inches wide by 72 inches in overall length, it fits standard 2 x 72 belt grinder configurations used in fabrication and metalworking shops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis belt is suited for industrial and trade environments where high material removal rates are required. Typical applications include weld seam removal, rough shaping of metal stock, deburring, and surface conditioning on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The Series R228 designation identifies it within NORTON's cloth-backed coated abrasive line. It is used by metal fabricators, machinists, welders, and maintenance trades operating 2 x 72 contact-wheel or platen belt grinders. Dry use only — do not expose to coolants or wet grinding conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e36 grit extra coarse aluminum oxide for high-rate stock removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eX-weight cloth backing provides stiffness and resistance to tearing under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed-coat construction delivers dense grain coverage for consistent cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry-use only coated abrasive belt — no coolant exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries R228 cloth-backed belt in standard 2 x 72 inch size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on standard 2 x 72 inch belt grinder machines in fabrication, metalworking, and maintenance trade applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBelt grinder installation and belt changes should be performed with the machine powered off and unplugged. Ensure the belt tracking and tension adjustments on the grinder are set correctly before operating. Inspect the belt for cracks, tears, or delamination before each use — do not run a damaged belt. Work rest and guard alignment should be confirmed after each belt change per applicable ANSI and OSHA safety standards for abrasive equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 72 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extra Coarse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoat Density\u003c\/strong\u003e: Closed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBacking Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBacking Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWet\/Dry Operation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: R228\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31191507\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: NORTON\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 78072721335\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NORTON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540600455474,"sku":"78072721335","price":20.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a391d14490ce9fdf2b2a463257ecdc71.jpg?v=1785859668","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/norton-78072721335-abrasive-belt-36-grit-2x72-in-aluminum-oxide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
