Norton 78072750495 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 8x107 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072750495 is a coated abrasive belt engineered for aggressive material removal on wide belt sanders and industrial grinding equipment. Measuring 8 inches wide by 107 inches long, this belt runs the R824 series Zirconia Alumina abrasive on a heavy-duty Y-weight polyester cloth backing. The 80-grit, medium-grade formulation is suited to fast stock removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Closed-coat density maximizes abrasive coverage for consistent cut rates across the full belt surface. At 1.7 pounds, the belt is built for demanding wet or dry operation in production and fabrication environments. It is installed and used by metalworkers, fabricators, and industrial finishing technicians.

This belt fits wide-format belt sanding and grinding machines that accept an 8-inch by 107-inch abrasive belt. The 80-grit Zirconia Alumina construction handles initial grinding passes, weld seam leveling, rust removal, and aggressive surface prep on ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as hardwoods. The closed-coat layout resists loading, making it effective in both dry production lines and wet-grinding setups where coolant or water is applied to control heat and extend belt life.

Key Features

• Zirconia Alumina abrasive delivers self-sharpening cutting action and extended service life under high pressure
• 80-grit medium grade optimized for fast stock removal and weld seam blending
• Y-weight polyester cloth backing provides high tensile strength and resistance to tearing under load
• Closed-coat density ensures maximum abrasive grain coverage for consistent, uniform cut
• Rated for both wet and dry operation, compatible with coolant-assisted grinding setups
• R824 series construction suited to heavy industrial and fabrication applications

Compatibility

Designed for wide belt sanders and industrial grinding machines accepting an 8-inch by 107-inch abrasive belt in wet or dry configurations.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by a qualified machine operator or maintenance technician following the equipment manufacturer's procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the sanding or grinding machine before changing belts. Verify belt tracking adjustment and tension after installation and before resuming operation. Always confirm the machine's rated belt speed does not exceed the abrasive belt's maximum operating speed.
