Norton 78072741633 Abrasive Belt 240 Grit 1-1/2x60 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072741633 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry belt sanding operations where a very fine finish is required. Sized at 1-1/2 inches wide by 60 inches long, this belt uses aluminum oxide abrasive grain at 240 grit, placing it in the very fine grade range. The closed-coat density keeps abrasive coverage consistent across the full belt surface, supporting uniform material removal and surface finishing. The X-weight cloth backing provides durability and flexibility under tension on bench-top and portable belt sanders. This belt is part of the Norton R228 series and is sold individually.

This belt is suited for fine finishing passes on metal, wood, and composite materials in shop and field environments. Typical applications include deburring, surface preparation before coating, and finish sanding on flat or contoured workpieces. The dry-only rating means it should not be used with water, cutting fluids, or other liquid lubricants. Machinists, fabricators, woodworkers, and general maintenance technicians are the primary users of this belt size and grit combination.

Check that the machine's belt tension and tracking adjustments are set before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for tears or loose splice joints prior to each use.
