It measures 6 inches wide by 48 inches long and carries a 120-grit aluminum oxide abrasive in a closed-coat configuration. The closed-coat layout maximizes abrasive coverage for consistent material removal and surface finishing. Aluminum oxide grain offers reliable cutting action on ferrous metals, hardwood, and hard composites. A heavy-duty X-weight cloth backing provides flexibility and tear resistance under continuous dry-use sanding loads. This belt is part of the Norton R228 series and weighs approximately 0.305 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis belt suits residential and light commercial shop environments where a medium-grit finish pass is required. It is well suited for weld blending, stock removal on flat and contoured metal surfaces, and progressive wood finishing when stepping down from coarser grits. Typical users include machinists, fabricators, woodworkers, and maintenance trades who operate 6 x 48 belt sander equipment. The 120-grit rating places it in the medium-grade category, making it practical for intermediate material removal and pre-finishing surface prep.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e120-grit aluminum oxide abrasive for medium-grade cutting and surface refinement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed-coat construction maximizes grain coverage for consistent stock removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eX-weight cloth backing delivers flexibility and durability under sustained load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry-use rated for standard belt sander applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the Norton R228 series for repeatable performance across multiple belts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement for 6 x 48 inch belt sander machines that accept standard coated abrasive belts in dry-use configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBelt installation is performed by trained shop personnel or qualified tradespeople familiar with belt sander equipment.
