Built on an X-weight cloth backing, this belt handles the mechanical stress of high-pressure belt grinder and sander work without tearing or stretching. At 36 grit, it falls in the extra coarse range, making it the right choice for rapid stock removal, weld seam grinding, scale removal, and rough shaping on metal or wood. Closed coat density maximizes cutting contact across the full belt surface. The belt measures 3 inches wide by 132 inches in overall length and operates dry only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis belt suits fabrication shops, pipefitters, ironworkers, millwrights, and general metalworking trades running stationary or portable belt grinders. The 132-inch length fits longer-platen machines common in industrial settings. The 36-grit aluminum oxide abrasive cuts through mild steel, stainless, cast iron, and hardwood efficiently. It is part of the NORTON R228 series, a closed-coat aluminum oxide line engineered for consistent cut rate across the belt life. Typical use cases include weld prep, deburring, and rough shaping before progression to finer grits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e36 grit extra coarse aluminum oxide for fast, aggressive stock removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eX-weight cloth backing withstands high-tension belt grinder operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed coat density provides maximum abrasive coverage and consistent cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry-use design suitable for metal and wood grinding applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the NORTON R228 series for reliable, repeatable performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 inches x 132 inches size fits longer-platen industrial belt machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit abrasive belt for industrial and portable belt grinders accepting a 3-inch wide by 132-inch length belt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBelt installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive grinding equipment. Power down and lock out the machine before changing the belt. Verify the arrow or directional marking on the belt aligns with the machine drive direction before tensioning.
