Norton 78072745691 Abrasive Belt 60 Grit 3/4x18 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072745691 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive material removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Running at 60 grit, this is a coarse-grade belt suited for rapid stock removal, weld blending, and surface conditioning tasks. The belt is constructed with ceramic alumina abrasive on a heavy-duty Y-weight polyester backing, delivering the rigidity and heat resistance needed for demanding grinding and finishing operations. At 3/4 inches wide and 18 inches long, it fits compact belt grinders and file belt tools commonly used in fabrication, maintenance, and tool-and-die work. Closed coat density maximizes abrasive coverage across the belt face.

This belt is intended for use in both wet and dry grinding operations, making it adaptable to a range of shop environments. The R983 series ceramic alumina construction is well suited for hard steels, stainless, and other tough alloys where conventional aluminum oxide belts wear out prematurely. Fabricators, machinists, maintenance technicians, and metal finishing professionals will find this belt at home on portable file belt sanders, bench-mounted belt grinders, and similar small-platen tools requiring a 3/4 inch by 18 inch belt.

Installation Notes

Power down and unplug the belt grinder or file sander before changing belts. Confirm belt travel direction matches the arrow marked on the belt backing before tensioning. Inspect the drive and idler rollers for wear or debris that could cause uneven belt tracking. Always wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when handling and operating coated abrasive belts.
