Norton 78072726991 Abrasive Belt 50 Grit 1.5x60 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072726991 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive stock removal on metal, weld seams, and other hard surfaces. Built on a heavy Y-weight cloth backing, it runs on belt sanders and grinders used in fabrication, maintenance, and finishing work. The zirconia alumina abrasive grain is closed-coat and bonded to the cloth substrate, delivering consistent cut and extended belt life under load. At 50 grit, this belt falls in the coarse range, making it well suited for rapid material removal, deburring, and weld grinding before moving to finer finishing steps. It is a dry-use belt and measures 1.5 inches wide by 60 inches long.

This belt is intended for use in metalworking and fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and industrial service environments. It fits standard 1.5 x 60 inch belt sanders and grinders. The Series R821P designation places it within a line engineered for high-pressure applications on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is typically installed and used by machinists, fabricators, pipefitters, and maintenance mechanics who need a reliable coarse-grit belt for roughing operations.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by the machine operator or maintenance technician. Always power down and disconnect the belt sander or grinder before changing belts. Confirm belt tracking and tension per the equipment manufacturer's guidelines before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for tears or edge damage before each use and replace immediately if damage is found.
