Norton 78072726308 Abrasive Belt 180 Grit 2x132 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072726308 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry precision finishing and stock removal on power belt sanders and finishing machines. Running at 180 grit in the very fine grade range, this belt lays down a consistent scratch pattern suited to final finishing passes on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. It measures 2 inches wide by 132 inches long and is built on a J-weight polyester cloth backing that resists tearing and conforms to contoured workpieces. The closed-coat aluminum oxide grain covers the full belt face for uniform cutting action across the entire contact area. Licensed trades and industrial maintenance technicians use this belt for surface prep, weld blending, and finishing work.

This belt is intended for dry operation and fits belt sanders, grinders, and inline finishing machines that accept a 2 inch by 132 inch belt. The R245 series designation identifies it as part of a NORTON product line built for general-purpose industrial and metalworking applications. It is commonly used in fabrication shops, mechanical rooms, and field service settings where a fine-finish abrasive belt is needed for deburring, smoothing, or surface conditioning. The sold-per-unit packaging makes it practical for single-belt replacement purchases without excess inventory.
