Norton 78072727993 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 3x18 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072727993 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry grinding, blending, and finishing applications on metal and other hard materials. Part of the R228 series, this belt measures 3 inches wide by 18 inches long and uses aluminum oxide abrasive grain at 80 grit for aggressive material removal. The closed-coat construction maximizes grain coverage across the cloth backing, delivering consistent cut rate throughout the belt's working life. Licensed trades and fabrication professionals rely on this belt for deburring, weld blending, and surface preparation tasks on portable and stationary belt grinders.

This belt is suited for dry-operation belt grinders and finishing machines in metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial trade environments. The X-weight cloth backing provides durability under high-tension applications and resists tearing during heavy stock removal passes. The 80-grit coarse grade makes it well-suited for initial stock removal before progressing to finer grits. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.
