Norton 78072728837 Abrasive Belt 320 Grit 6x60 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072728837 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry grinding, blending, and finishing applications on stationary belt sanders and wide-belt machines. Built on a heavyweight X-weight cloth backing with a closed-coat aluminum oxide grain at 320 grit, this belt delivers consistent cut and surface finish across wood, metal, and composite materials. At 6 inches wide and 60 inches long, it fits standard floor-model and bench-top belt sander configurations. The extra fine 320 grit classification makes it well-suited for final finishing passes and surface preparation before coating or painting. Licensed trades and professional fabricators rely on this belt series for repeatable, controllable results.

This belt is used in woodworking shops, metal fabrication facilities, and maintenance environments where a reliable finishing abrasive is required. The Series R228 designation identifies it within the NORTON coated abrasive product line. Its dry-use rating means it is appropriate for applications where coolant or water is not introduced at the work surface. Typical installation scenarios include production sanding lines and manual finishing stations using 6-inch by 60-inch platen or contact-wheel belt sander setups.
