Built on an X-weight rayon cloth backing, this belt handles both wet and dry operation without losing structural integrity. It measures 0.5 inches wide by 18 inches in length and carries an 80-grit aluminum oxide abrasive in a closed-coat configuration. The closed coat delivers consistent scratch patterns and efficient stock removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Machinists, fabricators, and finishing technicians working with belt grinders and file belt machines will find this a dependable production-grade consumable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis belt fits standard 0.5-inch by 18-inch belt grinder and file belt machine platens used in metalworking shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments. The 80-grit coarse rating makes it well suited for weld blending, deburring, edge breaking, and initial surface conditioning on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The aluminum oxide abrasive performs reliably across repeated passes and tolerates the heat generated during dry grinding. The wet\/dry rating also makes it usable in applications where coolant or water is introduced to control heat or improve surface finish quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e80-grit coarse aluminum oxide abrasive for aggressive stock removal and weld blending\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClosed-coat configuration delivers consistent scratch patterns across the full belt surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eX-weight rayon cloth backing provides flexibility and durability under tension\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for both wet and dry operation, compatible with coolant-assisted grinding setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeries R283 construction built for repeatable performance in production environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5 inch by 18 inch format fits standard file belt and narrow belt grinder machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to fit belt grinders and file belt machines with a 0.5-inch by 18-inch belt capacity.

Always power down and de-energize the machine before changing belts. Inspect the drive wheel, idler, and platen for wear or damage prior to mounting a new belt. Ensure belt tracking is adjusted correctly before resuming operation to prevent edge damage or premature failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80\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: Rayon 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: Wet and Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: R283\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31191507\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 78072727559\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NORTON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540166115634,"sku":"78072727559","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6d533262079f1e3f818ac7f33e97d627.jpg?v=1785847709","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/norton-78072727559-abrasive-belt-80-grit-1-2x18-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
