Norton 78072753086 Abrasive Belt 36 Grit 2x132 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072753086 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive stock removal in metalworking, fabrication, and heavy grinding applications. Built on a heavyweight polyester backing with closed-coat ceramic alumina abrasive, this belt delivers consistent cut rate and long service life under demanding conditions. The 36-grit extra coarse grade makes it well suited for rapid material removal, weld blending, and surface prep work where speed matters more than finish. The belt measures 2 inches wide by 132 inches long and is rated for both wet and dry operation.

This belt is a fit for stationary and portable belt grinders used in industrial fabrication shops, metal service centers, and maintenance environments. The R983 series ceramic alumina construction handles hard ferrous metals, stainless steel, and high-nickel alloys without glazing prematurely. Wet or dry compatibility expands its use across coolant-assisted grinding setups and dry freehand grinding stations alike. It is typically installed and used by machinists, fabricators, weld technicians, and maintenance mechanics.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the machine manufacturer's guidelines. Power down and lock out the grinder before changing belts. Verify belt tracking direction arrow aligns with the machine's drive direction before starting. Inspect the contact wheel and platen for wear before mounting a new belt to avoid premature belt failure.
