Norton 78072722825 Abrasive Belt 60 Grit 10x70.5in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072722825 is a coated abrasive belt designed for heavy material removal on wide belt sanders and surface grinding equipment. Built on a Series R228 platform, it uses aluminum oxide grain in a closed-coat configuration on an X-weight cloth backing. At 60 grit, this belt falls in the coarse grade range, making it well-suited for aggressive stock removal, weld blending, and surface conditioning on metal, wood, and composite materials. The X-weight cloth backing provides the stiffness and durability needed for demanding dry grinding applications where belt tension and heat resistance matter.

This belt measures 10 inches wide by 70-1/2 inches long and is intended for use on stationary wide belt sanders, platen grinders, and similar industrial or shop equipment that accepts this belt size. The dry-only operation designation makes it appropriate for metalworking shops, woodworking facilities, and fabrication environments where coolant or wet grinding is not part of the process. It is typically installed by maintenance technicians, fabricators, and machinists performing routine surface finishing or aggressive material removal tasks.

Key Features

• 60 grit coarse aluminum oxide grain for aggressive stock removal
• Closed-coat construction delivers consistent, even scratch patterns across the workpiece
• X-weight cloth backing resists tearing and handles high belt tension without stretching
• Series R228 design rated for dry operation only
• 10 inches x 70-1/2 inches size fits a wide range of stationary wide belt and platen grinding machines

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement abrasive belt for stationary wide belt sanders and surface grinders that accept a 10 inch by 70-1/2 inch belt in dry operation configurations.

Installation Notes

Abrasive belts of this type are installed by machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians familiar with wide belt sanding and grinding equipment. Power down and lock out the machine before changing the belt. Confirm belt tracking and tension adjustment per the equipment manufacturer guidelines before resuming operation. Do not use this belt with water, coolant, or other wet grinding fluids, as it is rated for dry use only.
