Norton 78072728613 Abrasive Belt 150 Grit 2x48 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072728613 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive material removal and finishing on belt sanders and grinders. Part of the 823P series, it uses zirconia alumina as the abrasive material, delivering a sharp, self-renewing cut that holds up under heavy stock removal. At 150 grit, it falls in the fine grade range, making it suitable for finishing passes after initial shaping. The polyester cloth backing with an X weight rating provides the strength and flexibility needed to handle both flat and contoured workpiece surfaces. This belt supports wet or dry operation, giving the operator flexibility depending on the application and material.

This abrasive belt is used in metal fabrication, welding shops, and manufacturing environments where consistent surface finishing is required. The 2-inch by 48-inch format is a common size for portable and bench-mounted belt sanders used in metalworking and woodworking applications. At 150 grit, this belt is typically applied in intermediate-to-final finishing stages, smoothing surfaces after coarser material removal has been completed. It is installed and used by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians performing surface preparation, deburring, and blending work.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed with the sander or grinder powered off and unplugged or locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Confirm belt tracking alignment before resuming operation to prevent edge wear or belt failure. Inspect the drive and idler wheels for wear or debris before mounting a new belt. Replace the belt when cutting performance degrades noticeably or when surface finish quality drops off.
