Norton 78072733200 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 1/8x24 Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 78072733200 is a narrow coated abrasive belt designed for precision grinding, deburring, and finishing on tight-radius applications. Built on a heavy-duty X-weight cloth backing, it carries a closed-coat layer of aluminum oxide abrasive at 80 grit for medium-grade stock removal. At 1/8 inch wide and 24 inches long, this belt fits narrow-platen and file-belt machines commonly used in metal fabrication, tool and die work, and maintenance grinding. Dry operation only. The R228 series construction delivers consistent cut rate and surface finish across ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

This belt is suited for trades and shop environments where precision material removal in confined areas is required. Typical applications include blending welds in tight joints, sharpening tooling, deburring bores, and finishing internal contours. The 1/8 inch width makes it compatible with file belt sanders and narrow-platen finishing machines used in metal fabrication shops, HVAC equipment manufacturing, and general maintenance facilities. Dry operation limits its use to applications where coolant or water is not part of the finishing process.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive provides consistent cut rate on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• 80 grit medium grade balances stock removal speed with surface finish quality
• Closed-coat construction maximizes abrasive surface contact for efficient cutting
• X-weight cloth backing resists tearing and flexing under tension on file belt machines
• Dry-use rated for standard shop grinding and finishing operations
• R228 series construction for repeatable performance across production runs

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or production abrasive belt for narrow-platen file belt sanders and finishing machines accepting a 1/8 inch wide by 24 inch long belt configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance technicians or machine operators familiar with abrasive file belt equipment. Power down and disconnect the machine from its power source before changing belts. Confirm belt tracking and tension per the machine manufacturer guidelines before resuming operation. Do not use this belt wet or with cutting fluids, as it is rated for dry operation only.
