Norton 78072722775 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 8x107 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072722775 is a coated abrasive belt designed for heavy-duty dry grinding and stock removal applications. Built on a heavy X-weight cloth backing, this belt delivers the rigidity and durability needed for demanding surface finishing work on metal, wood, and composite materials. The Series R228 construction uses closed-coat aluminum oxide grain at 80 grit, providing consistent, aggressive cutting action across the full belt surface. At 8 inches wide and 107 inches long, it fits large stationary belt grinders and wide-belt sanders commonly used in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial finishing operations.

This belt is suited for coarse material removal on flat and contoured workpieces. The closed-coat aluminum oxide abrasive performs well on ferrous metals, hardwoods, and engineered materials where fast stock removal is the priority. The X-weight cloth backing resists tearing and flexing fatigue under continuous load. Dry operation only — this belt is not rated for wet grinding applications. It is a standard consumable replacement for shops running wide-belt sanders or large floor-standing belt grinders that accept 8 x 107 inch belts.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the machine manufacturer's belt replacement procedure. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the worn belt or installing a new one. Verify the belt tracking adjustment after installation and run the machine briefly at no-load to confirm proper tracking before returning to service. Always confirm the replacement belt size matches the machine specification before installation.
