Norton 78072722079 Abrasive Belt 150 Grit 4x36 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072722079 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry material removal on belt sanders and similar abrasive machinery. Built on an X-weight polyester cloth backing, this belt delivers the rigidity and durability needed for demanding stock removal and finishing tasks. The 150-grit aluminum oxide abrasive provides a fine cut suitable for surface preparation, blending, and finish sanding on metal, wood, and composite materials. Closed coat density ensures consistent abrasive coverage across the full belt surface for uniform scratch patterns. This belt is a standard consumable stocked and replaced by metalworkers, fabricators, woodworkers, and maintenance technicians.

This belt measures 4 inches wide by 36 inches in overall length, fitting belt sanders and grinders that accept that common size. The R228 series designation identifies the belt family within the NORTON coated abrasives line. Dry operation only — this belt is not rated for wet grinding or flood coolant applications. It is suited to light-to-medium finishing passes on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, hardwoods, softwoods, and plastics where a fine surface finish is the goal.
