Norton 78072722679 Abrasive Belt 40 Grit 6x60 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 78072722679 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive material removal in dry grinding and finishing applications. Measuring 6 inches wide by 60 inches long, this belt features 40-grit aluminum oxide abrasive on a heavyweight X-weight cloth backing. The coarse grit rating makes it suited to rapid stock removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. The Series R228 construction uses a closed-coat density, meaning abrasive grains cover the full backing surface for consistent cut across the belt's working life. Installed on stationary or portable belt sanders, this belt is a workhorse for fabrication shops, grinding rooms, and surface prep work.

This abrasive belt is intended for dry operation only. The X-weight cloth backing provides the tensile strength needed for high-tension belt sander setups common in metal fabrication and woodworking environments. The 6 x 60 inch format fits a range of industrial and commercial belt sander machines that accept this standard belt size. Typical users include metal fabricators, welders performing weld-seam grinding, millwrights, and woodworkers handling rough dimensioning or heavy stock removal tasks.
