Norton 78072746477 Abrasive Belt 36 Grit 1x30 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 78072746477 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive stock removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Built on a heavy-duty X-weight cloth backing with a closed-coat aluminum oxide abrasive layer, this belt delivers consistent cut and long service life under high-pressure dry grinding conditions. At 36 grit, it falls in the very coarse grade range, making it the right choice for rapid material removal, weld blending, and surface prep before finishing. It weighs 0.3 pounds and is sized at 1 inch wide by 30 inches long. Fabricators, metalworkers, and woodworkers running portable or stationary belt grinders will find this belt a reliable production-grade consumable.

This belt fits 1 inch by 30 inch belt grinders and sanders used in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and finishing operations. The Series R228 designation identifies it as part of a standardized Norton abrasive lineup. Dry operation only — this belt is not rated for wet grinding applications. Typical uses include deburring, edge breaking, weld seam removal, and aggressive surface conditioning on both ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
