Norton 78072721470 Abrasive Belt 36 Grit 2x132 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072721470 is a coated abrasive belt designed for heavy stock removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Built on a heavy-duty X-weight cloth backing with a closed-coat aluminum oxide grain pattern, this belt delivers consistent cutting action across its full 2-inch width and 132-inch length. At 36 grit, it falls in the very coarse grade range, making it the right choice for aggressive grinding, weld blending, and rapid surface conditioning. The cloth backing handles tension and heat generated during high-contact applications without tearing or delaminating prematurely.

This belt fits belt grinders, file belt machines, and wide-belt sanders that accept a 2-inch by 132-inch configuration. It is used in fabrication shops, maintenance and repair facilities, and production environments where fast material removal is the priority. Typical applications include deburring structural steel, shaping aluminum extrusions, and leveling rough welds before moving to finish grind sequences. Dry operation only — not rated for wet grinding or coolant-flooded setups. The Series R228 designation identifies it within NORTON's aluminum oxide coated-abrasive line.

Installation Notes

Install on belt grinders or file machines rated for a 2 x 132 inch belt. Power down and lock out the machine before changing belts. Check that belt tracking is centered on the wheels before resuming operation, and inspect the belt for tears or edge damage prior to each use. Worn or damaged belts should be replaced immediately to prevent breakage during use.
