Norton 78072762615 Abrasive Belt 100 Grit 1/2x24 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072762615 is a coated abrasive belt designed for precision material removal and finishing on portable and stationary belt sanders. Running 0.5 inches wide and 24 inches long, this belt uses aluminum oxide grain at 100 grit, placing it in the fine grade range. Aluminum oxide is a durable, self-sharpening abrasive well suited for ferrous metals, wood, and composites. The cloth backing with an X-weight rating provides the flexibility and tensile strength needed for contoured or edge work without tearing under load. Closed coat density maximizes grain coverage for consistent scratch patterns and efficient stock removal.

This belt is suited for dry grinding, blending, and finishing operations in light fabrication, maintenance, and toolroom environments. The 0.5 x 24 inch form factor fits compact file belt sanders and inline portable units commonly used for deburring pipe, tube, and structural stock. It is part of the Norton R228 series, a line built around cloth-backed aluminum oxide construction for general-purpose industrial and trade use. One belt is included per package.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, pipefitters, machinists, and maintenance trades using belt sanders rated for 0.5 x 24 inch abrasives. Power down and unplug the sander completely before changing belts. Confirm belt tracking direction aligns with the arrow marked on the belt backing before tensioning. Inspect the platen and drive roller for wear before seating a new belt to avoid premature failure.
