Norton 78072746126 Abrasive Belt 36 Grit 1/2x24 in Ceramic

Product Description

The NORTON 78072746126 is a ceramic abrasive belt designed for aggressive stock removal in metalworking, woodworking, and surface preparation applications. Measuring 1/2 inch wide by 24 inches long, this belt runs on compatible narrow-belt grinders and file belt tools. It carries a 36-grit, very coarse cut rating and uses a closed-coat ceramic abrasive bonded to a heavyweight polyester cloth backing rated Y-weight. Ceramic abrasive grain self-sharpens under pressure, maintaining cut rate longer than aluminum oxide alternatives. The belt is rated for both wet and dry operation, making it suitable for controlled grinding environments where coolant or water is used to manage heat.

This belt is suited for trade professionals performing weld grinding, deburring, and aggressive shaping on metal workpieces, as well as heavy stock removal on wood. Its narrow 1/2-inch width fits file belt attachments and inline belt grinders commonly used by pipefitters, fabricators, and machinists. The closed-coat construction maximizes abrasive surface coverage for faster material removal on hard materials. It is sold individually and works where consistent, repeatable cut performance is required across multiple passes.
