Norton 78072749318 Abrasive Belt 320 Grit 1-1/2x60 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072749318 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry grinding, blending, and finishing applications on a wide range of materials. Running at 320 grit with an extra fine grade rating, this belt delivers controlled material removal and refined surface finishes in the final stages of sanding. The aluminum oxide abrasive is bonded to a heavy-duty X-weight cloth backing with a closed coat density, providing durability under sustained belt-sander operation. At 1.5 inches wide and 60 inches long, it fits standard narrow belt sanding equipment used in metal fabrication, woodworking, and general industrial finishing.

This belt is suited for finishing passes on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, hardwood, and composite materials. The Series R228 designation identifies it as part of a Norton coated abrasive line optimized for consistent cut rate and finish quality in dry operation. Typical applications include deburring, fine stock removal, and surface prep prior to coating or polishing. It is commonly used on benchtop and floor-standing belt sanders in shop and trade environments where a refined surface profile is required.
