Norton 78072727960 Abrasive Belt 60 Grit 4x36 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072727960 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive material removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Built on a heavy-duty X-weight cloth backing, it measures 4 inches wide by 36 inches long and runs a 60-grit aluminum oxide abrasive in a closed-coat configuration. The R228 series construction keeps the abrasive grain bonded firmly to the backing through sustained belt sander use. This belt is rated for dry operation and delivers consistent cut rate across the contact surface. It is a standard consumable stocked and replaced by metalworkers, fabricators, and woodworking professionals running bench or floor-standing belt sanders.

This belt fits applications where a coarse 60-grit cut is needed to remove stock quickly, level weld seams, or prep surfaces before finishing. The 4-inch by 36-inch format is a common size for benchtop belt sanders used in metal fabrication shops, woodworking operations, and general manufacturing environments. The closed-coat aluminum oxide grain provides a consistent scratch pattern suitable for intermediate stock removal before stepping up to finer grits.
