Norton 78072739966 Abrasive Belt 60 Grit 3/4x18 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072739966 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive material removal in both wet and dry grinding and finishing operations. Built on an X-weight rayon cloth backing, this belt delivers the rigidity and flexibility needed for contour and flat surface work. The closed-coat aluminum oxide abrasive layer runs at 60 grit, placing it in the coarse grade range for rapid stock removal on metals, wood, and composites. At 3/4 inches wide and 18 inches in overall length, it fits compact belt grinders and file belt machines common in fabrication and maintenance shops.

This belt suits residential and commercial trade applications where controlled material removal is required on narrow or curved workpieces. Typical installation scenarios include pipefitting, metal fabrication, tool sharpening, and surface prep prior to welding or finishing. The wet and dry rating allows use with water-based cutting fluids or dry, giving the operator flexibility based on heat management needs and the material being worked. It fits belt grinders and power file tools that accept 3/4 inch by 18 inch belts.
