Norton 78072761679 Abrasive Belt 120 Grit Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 78072761679 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry sanding and surface finishing applications on metal, wood, and composite materials. Built on an X-weight cloth backing with a closed-coat aluminum oxide abrasive layer, this belt delivers consistent 120-grit fine-grade stock removal across the full working surface. The R228 series construction combines backing durability with aggressive mineral retention, making it a reliable choice for belt sanders used in fabrication shops, maintenance environments, and production finishing lines. It measures 3.5 inches wide by 15.5 inches long and weighs 0.35 pounds per unit.

This belt fits standard 3.5-inch by 15.5-inch belt sander machines and is suited for dry sanding operations on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, hardwood, softwood, and engineered composites. The 120-grit fine grade makes it appropriate for intermediate to finish-stage material removal, blending weld seams, smoothing rough surfaces, and preparing workpieces for coating or final finishing. It is sold individually and is a common consumable for metal fabricators, millwrights, woodworkers, and maintenance technicians.
