Norton 78072762559 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 2x30 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072762559 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry grinding, blending, and stock removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. It runs on portable and stationary belt sanders commonly used in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and trade workshops. The belt measures 2 inches wide by 30 inches long and carries an 80-grit aluminum oxide abrasive. Aluminum oxide is a durable, self-sharpening grain that performs consistently across a wide range of materials. The closed-coat construction keeps abrasive grain tightly packed across the backing, maximizing cut rate and surface coverage on each pass.

This belt fits 2 inches by 30 inches belt sanders used in general metalworking, HVAC fabrication, pipefitting, plumbing rough-in, and electrical trade shops where burr removal and edge finishing are routine tasks. The X-weight cloth backing provides the stiffness needed for aggressive material removal while resisting tearing under tension. Dry operation only. The 80-grit coarse cut is well suited for initial stock removal, weld blending, and rust or scale removal before finishing passes with finer grits.

Key Features

• 80-grit aluminum oxide abrasive for coarse stock removal and weld blending
• Closed-coat construction maximizes grain density for faster cut rates
• X-weight cloth backing resists tearing and handles high belt tension
• Series R228 designation for cross-referencing with NORTON abrasive line
• Dry operation only — not rated for wet grinding applications

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement belt for 2 inches by 30 inches belt sanders used in metalworking, fabrication, and general trade applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance personnel and trade professionals familiar with abrasive belt equipment. Power down and unplug the belt sander before mounting or removing the belt. Confirm belt tension and tracking adjustment before resuming operation. Inspect the platen and idler wheels for wear before installing a new belt to ensure even contact and prevent premature belt failure.
