Norton 78072723246 Abrasive Belt 150 Grit 2x48 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 78072723246 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry precision sanding on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Built on a heavyweight polyester cloth backing rated X-weight, it delivers consistent stock removal and finish quality across its full 2-inch by 48-inch working surface. The 150-grit aluminum oxide abrasive is distributed in a closed-coat pattern, maximizing cutting surface contact for fine finishing work. Licensed tradespeople and finishing specialists rely on this belt for stationary belt sander applications where controlled material removal and surface uniformity are required.

This belt suits residential and light commercial finishing operations on belt sanding machines accepting a 2-inch wide by 48-inch long belt. It is appropriate for fine-stage material removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, hardwood, softwood, and painted surfaces. The dry-only rating makes it suitable for standard shop environments without coolant or wet-sanding setups. It belongs to the NORTON R228 series, a line engineered for consistent grit distribution and extended belt life in high-contact applications.
