Norton 78072758953 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 0.75x18 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072758953 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive stock removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Built on a heavy-duty X-weight polyester cloth backing, this belt runs in the R823P series and uses zirconia alumina grain in a closed-coat configuration. At 80 grit, it falls in the coarse range, making it well-suited for fast material removal, weld blending, and surface prep work. The closed-coat layout maximizes grain coverage for consistent cut rates. The belt measures 0.75 inches wide by 18 inches long and weighs 0.032 pounds.

This belt is intended for use on portable belt sanders and stationary file belt machines commonly found in metal fabrication shops, welding operations, and industrial maintenance settings. Zirconia alumina grain is a self-sharpening abrasive that holds up under high pressure and heat, making it a practical choice for grinding ferrous metals, stainless steel, and hard alloys. It supports both wet and dry operation, giving operators flexibility depending on the application. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 50 units.
