Built on an X-weight cloth backing, this belt delivers the rigidity and durability needed for heavy stock removal on metal, wood, and composite materials. The 36-grit aluminum oxide abrasive is extra coarse, making it well suited for rapid shaping, weld blending, and scale removal. Closed coat density ensures consistent abrasive coverage across the full 4-inch by 54-inch belt surface. It is part of the NORTON R228 series, a line engineered for industrial and trade-level performance on belt grinding machines and backstand grinders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis belt is used in fabrication shops, metal working operations, and woodworking environments where fast, aggressive cutting action is required. The 4-inch width and 54-inch length fit a range of stationary and portable belt grinding machines commonly used by metal fabricators, welders, and millwrights. The dry-only operation rating means it is intended for use without cutting fluids or coolants. Its extra coarse grit makes it a first-pass or rough-shaping belt rather than a finishing tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e36-grit aluminum oxide abrasive for extra coarse, high-speed material 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 density delivers uniform cutting action across the full belt surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry operation rated for use on belt grinders without coolant or fluid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNORTON R228 series construction for consistent industrial-grade performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-inch by 54-inch dimensions fit a wide range of standard belt grinding machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard consumable for belt grinders and backstand grinders that accept 4-inch by 54-inch abrasive belts in dry grinding configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBelt grinders should be fully powered down and unplugged before changing abrasive belts. Verify belt tracking and tension according to the machine manufacturer guidelines before operating. Inspect the belt for tears or separations at the splice joint before each use, and replace immediately if damage is found. Installation is typically performed by machine operators, maintenance technicians, or fabricators familiar with abrasive equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 54 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: 0.6 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: 78072722185\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NORTON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541645689138,"sku":"78072722185","price":24.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6908f4dcbd68e046ad9b36cd4e565dfe.jpg?v=1785881062","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/norton-78072722185-abrasive-belt-36-grit-4x54-in-aluminum-oxide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
