Norton 78072726993 Abrasive Belt 36 Grit 1-1/2x60 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072726993 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive material removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Built on a heavy Y-weight cloth backing with closed-coat zirconia alumina grain at 36 grit, this belt delivers fast cutting action in very coarse stock removal applications. Measuring 1.5 inches wide by 60 inches long, it fits standard belt grinders and file belt machines common in fabrication and maintenance shops. Zirconia alumina grain self-sharpens under pressure, extending belt life compared to aluminum oxide in demanding applications. Recommended for dry operation only.

This belt is suited for metal fabrication, weld blending, pipe grinding, and heavy surface conditioning tasks. The R821P series construction pairs a durable cloth backing with closed-coat grain distribution, making it a practical choice for production environments where consistent cut rate and belt durability matter. Licensed trade professionals and skilled fabricators working on ferrous and non-ferrous metals will find this belt appropriate for edge work, deburring, and rapid stock removal in both portable and stationary belt-grinder setups.
