Norton 78072728662 Abrasive Belt 120 Grit 2x132 Inches

Product Description

The NORTON 78072728662 is a coated abrasive belt designed for high-stock-removal grinding and finishing on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Running at 2 inches wide by 132 inches long, this belt is built for larger belt grinders and wide-platen machines used in fabrication and metalworking shops. The abrasive material is zirconia alumina, a self-sharpening grain that maintains cut rate under moderate to heavy pressure. Grit designation is 120, placing it in the medium range for controlled material removal and surface blending. The R823P series construction pairs a closed-coat density with an X-weight polyester cloth backing for rigidity and tear resistance during extended runs.

This belt suits applications in metal fabrication, weld blending, pipe finishing, and general surface conditioning where a consistent 120-grit scratch pattern is required. The closed-coat construction keeps the abrasive grain tightly packed for uniform finish results across the full belt face. Wet or dry operation is supported, making it compatible with coolant-fed grinding setups as well as dry bench grinder configurations. Typical users include metal fabricators, machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians working with ferrous and non-ferrous stock.

Key Features

• Zirconia alumina grain self-sharpens under pressure to sustain cut rate across the belt life
• 120 grit medium grade for controlled stock removal and surface blending
• Closed-coat construction delivers uniform finish with consistent scratch pattern
• X-weight polyester cloth backing provides rigidity and resistance to tearing under load
• Supports both wet and dry operation for use with or without coolant
• R823P series designation for direct replacement ordering

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement belt for 2-inch by 132-inch belt grinders and wide-platen finishing machines that accept standard coated abrasive belts in this size.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the machine manufacturer's guidelines for tracking adjustment and tension. Power down and lockout the grinder before mounting or removing the belt. Verify belt tracking direction against the arrow printed on the belt backing before running. Inspect the contact wheel, platen, and idler for wear or damage that could cause premature belt failure.
