Norton 78072753074 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 3-1/2x15-1/2 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072753074 is a coated abrasive belt engineered for aggressive material removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. It measures 3-1/2 inches wide by 15-1/2 inches long, making it a standard fit for many bench-top and portable belt sanders used in fabrication and finishing shops. The abrasive mineral is zirconia alumina at 80 grit, a coarse grade that cuts fast and holds up under heat and pressure better than standard aluminum oxide. The closed-coat construction keeps abrasive grain packed tightly across the belt face, maximizing cut rate on each pass. This belt is part of the R823P series and is backed by an X-weight polyester cloth for strength and dimensional stability under load.

This belt is suited for both wet and dry grinding and finishing operations in industrial, fabrication, and maintenance environments. The 80 grit coarse grade makes it appropriate for weld blending, deburring, stock removal, and surface preparation prior to finer finishing steps. It is typically installed by metalworkers, pipefitters, fabricators, and maintenance technicians using compatible belt sanders that accept a 3-1/2 inch by 15-1/2 inch belt size.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by qualified personnel with the sander unplugged or the power source locked out before changing belts. Verify belt tracking and tension per the tool manufacturer guidelines before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for tears or edge separation before each use and do not operate a damaged belt. Wet grinding applications require appropriate coolant containment and personal protective equipment per applicable shop safety standards.
