Norton 78072722926 Abrasive Belt 240 Grit 4x36 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072722926 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry surface finishing and material removal on belt sanders and similar power abrasive equipment. Built on a heavyweight X-weight polyester cloth backing, the belt runs the R228 series closed-coat aluminum oxide grain at 240 grit, placing it in the very fine grade range. This combination delivers consistent scratch patterns and smooth surface finishes on wood, metal, composites, and painted surfaces. It measures 4 inches wide by 36 inches long, making it a common fit for bench-top and portable belt sander platforms. Metalworkers, woodworkers, and general fabrication trades reach for this belt during finish sanding and light stock removal passes.

This belt is suited for dry grinding and finishing applications across residential shop work, light industrial fabrication, and trade service environments. The 240-grit aluminum oxide grain is appropriate for final-stage wood sanding before finishing, light deburring on metal, and surface prep work where a smooth, consistent scratch pattern is required. The closed-coat construction keeps abrasive grain density high, which supports efficient cutting on harder materials and consistent finish quality across the full belt surface.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Belt installation is performed by woodworkers, metalworkers, and general trades using belt sanders rated for 4 by 36 inch belts. Power down and unplug the sander before changing belts. Check belt tracking adjustment after installing to prevent edge wear or belt drift. Inspect the belt for proper seam direction alignment with the arrow on the belt interior before use.
