Norton 78072744018 Abrasive Belt 150 Grit 2x60 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 78072744018 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry grinding, finishing, and blending operations on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Part of the R228 series, this belt measures 2 inches wide by 60 inches long and runs at 150 grit, placing it in the fine grade range for smooth surface finishing and scratch removal. It features an aluminum oxide abrasive bonded to a heavy-duty X-weight polyester cloth backing with a closed coat density, providing consistent cut and long belt life under continuous production or shop use. Metalworkers, fabricators, and finishing technicians typically use this belt on stationary belt sanders and grinders.

This belt is suited for dry-only use on belt sanders requiring a 2 x 60 inch configuration. The R228 series closed-coat construction delivers even abrasive coverage, making it effective for finish work on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as well as hardwood surfaces. The X-weight polyester cloth backing resists tearing and tracking issues during sustained machine operation, making it a reliable choice for production environments and trade shop applications.
