Norton 78072733201 Abrasive Belt 120 Grit 1/8x24 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072733201 is a coated abrasive belt designed for precision filing, deburring, and surface finishing on metal and other hard materials. Built on a heavy X-weight cloth backing with a closed-coat aluminum oxide abrasive layer, this belt delivers consistent cut and long service life under dry operating conditions. At 120 grit, it falls in the fine grade range, making it well-suited for finishing passes and light material removal. The 1/8-inch width and 24-inch length fit narrow-profile belt files and detail sanders used in fabrication and maintenance shops.

This belt is intended for dry use on metal, hardened alloys, and similar workpieces requiring controlled surface finishing. Its narrow 1/8-inch width makes it a fit for file-type belt tools used in tight access areas such as weld seams, pipe notches, and confined joint surfaces. Typical users include machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians who need a consistent finishing abrasive in a narrow format. The Series R228 designation identifies it within the NORTON coated abrasives product line.

Installation Notes

Power down and unplug the belt file tool before replacing the abrasive belt. Verify the replacement belt matches the tool's specified width and length before installation to prevent belt tracking failure or breakage. Inspect the drive and idler rollers for wear or debris before seating the new belt. This consumable is typically replaced by machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians as part of routine tool upkeep.
