Norton 78072748280 Abrasive Belt 60 Grit 3x79 in Zirconia

Product Description

The NORTON 78072748280 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive material removal on metal, stainless steel, and other hard surfaces. It measures 3 inches wide by 79 inches long and runs at 60 grit, placing it in the coarse grade range. The abrasive material is zirconia alumina, a self-sharpening grain that maintains cut rate through extended use. The belt is mounted on a polyester backing with a closed coat density, delivering consistent grain coverage across the full belt surface. It supports both wet and dry operation, making it suitable for a range of finishing applications in fabrication, welding prep, and surface conditioning work.

This belt is part of the Norton R884P series and is used in industrial and trade settings for stock removal and weld blending on metal workpieces. It fits belt grinders and power file machines that accept a 3 inch by 79 inch belt. Typical users include metal fabricators, welders, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians working in shop or field environments. The closed coat construction and zirconia alumina grain make it most effective on ferrous metals and stainless where heat buildup and loading are concerns.
