Built on a heavy-duty X-weight cloth backing, this belt uses aluminum oxide grain in a closed-coat configuration to deliver consistent, coarse-grade cutting action. At 50 grit, it is suited for rapid stock removal, shaping, and surface leveling on metal, wood, and composite materials. Dry operation keeps the grain sharp during use. Licensed tradespeople and skilled tradespeople in metal fabrication, woodworking, and general maintenance rely on belts in this class for high-contact grinding and surface prep tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis belt fits file belt sanders and narrow-profile belt sanders that accept a 3\/8-inch wide by 13-inch long belt. It is well suited for deburring weld seams, shaping tight contours, and removing scale or rust in confined areas where wider belts cannot reach. The coarse 50-grit rating makes it appropriate for initial stock removal rather than finish work. It is part of the NORTON R228 series, a line of aluminum oxide coated abrasive belts intended for dry grinding and shaping applications in both shop and field environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50-grit coarse grade aluminum oxide grain for fast, aggressive stock removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed-coat construction maximizes grain coverage for consistent cutting performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy X-weight cloth backing resists tearing under high contact pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry-use rated for standard metal, wood, and composite grinding applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNarrow 3\/8-inch width fits file belt sanders and tight-clearance power tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the R228 series for reliable lot-to-lot consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement abrasive belt for portable file belt sanders and stationary units that accept a 3\/8-inch by 13-inch belt configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbrasive belt installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the tool manufacturer's instructions. Power down and unplug the sander before changing belts. Verify the arrow on the belt backing aligns with the direction of travel on the drive wheel before resuming operation. Inspect the platen and rollers for wear that could cause premature belt failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coarse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoat Density\u003c\/strong\u003e: Closed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBacking Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBacking Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWet\/Dry Operation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: R228\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: NORTON\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 78072724544\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NORTON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541829812530,"sku":"78072724544","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/06685593a611966d8a3245082848ef27.jpg?v=1785886125","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/norton-78072724544-abrasive-belt-50-grit-3-8-x-13-inches","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
