Measuring 1.5 inches wide by 18-15\/16 inches long, it runs on compatible belt sanders and grinders common in fabrication, maintenance, and finishing environments. The belt uses aluminum oxide abrasive in a closed-coat configuration at 180 grit, placing it firmly in the very fine grade range. That combination delivers consistent material removal while producing a refined surface finish in a single pass. The X-weight cloth backing provides stiffness and durability under moderate pressure and heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis belt suits dry-use applications in metalworking shops, HVAC fabrication, plumbing and mechanical trades, and general maintenance environments where tight tolerances or finish quality matter. The R228 series designation identifies it within the NORTON coated abrasives lineup. At 180 grit, it is typically used in final-stage finishing after heavier stock removal has been completed with coarser belts. The closed-coat abrasive surface maximizes cutting contact, making it effective on harder metals and smooth-grained hardwoods where consistent finish is the priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e180 grit very fine aluminum oxide abrasive for refined surface finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClosed-coat construction maximizes abrasive coverage and cutting efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eX-weight cloth backing delivers stiffness and resistance to tearing under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDry-use design suited for metal, wood, and composite substrates\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 1.5 x 18-15\/16 inch size fits narrow belt sanders and detail grinders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNORTON R228 series construction for consistent grit distribution and belt life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard consumable for narrow belt sanders and abrasive finishing machines that accept 1-1\/2 inch wide by 18-15\/16 inch long belts with a dry-use coated abrasive configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelt installation should be performed by qualified personnel with the machine fully powered down and unplugged. Confirm belt tracking direction matches the arrow marked on the belt backing before tensioning. Inspect the platen and drive roller for wear before mounting a new belt, as surface irregularities will cause premature belt failure. Always operate within the machine manufacturer's rated belt speed for the abrasive type in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18-15\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 180\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Very Fine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoat Density\u003c\/strong\u003e: Closed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBacking Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBacking Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: X\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWet\/Dry Operation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: R228\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31191507\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: NORTON\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 78072762414\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NORTON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543436919090,"sku":"78072762414","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f86a51dc05dfb9ff46243cf1a0b18b85.jpg?v=1785918596","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/norton-78072762414-abrasive-belt-180-grit-1-1-2-x-18-15-16-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
