Norton 78072728633 Abrasive Belt 220 Grit 2x72 Inch

Product Description

The NORTON 78072728633 is a coated abrasive belt designed for precision material removal and finishing on belt sanders and stationary grinding machines. Built on a heavy-duty X-weight polyester cloth backing, it delivers consistent performance across both wet and dry applications. The belt measures 2 inches wide by 72 inches long and carries a 220 grit, very fine grade Zirconia Alumina abrasive in a closed-coat configuration. Zirconia Alumina is a self-sharpening abrasive that fractures under pressure to expose fresh cutting edges, making it a reliable choice for demanding metalworking and finishing tasks. Part of the R823P series, this belt is suited for high-pressure grinding where belt integrity and cut rate both matter.

This belt is used in metal fabrication shops, weld finishing operations, and general industrial grinding environments. The 2 inch by 72 inch format fits a wide range of bench-top and floor-standing belt grinders commonly found in trade and manufacturing settings. The closed-coat construction maximizes abrasive surface coverage, which is well suited for ferrous metals and harder alloys where aggressive stock removal at a fine finish level is required. Wet or dry operation is supported, giving operators flexibility depending on the cooling or lubrication needs of the workpiece.

Key Features

• 220 grit very fine grade for controlled stock removal and surface finishing
• Zirconia Alumina abrasive fractures under load to maintain a sharp cutting edge
• X-weight polyester cloth backing resists tearing under high belt tension
• Closed-coat construction maximizes abrasive density across the belt surface
• Supports both wet and dry operation for application flexibility
• R823P series construction for consistent performance in demanding grinding environments

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement belt for belt grinders and sanders accepting a 2 inch by 72 inch abrasive belt.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by qualified personnel following the grinder or sander manufacturer guidelines. Disconnect and lock out power to the machine before changing the belt. Verify belt tracking and tension before resuming operation, and confirm the arrow on the belt backing aligns with the direction of travel where marked. Inspect the belt for cracks or delamination prior to each use.
