Norton 78072763560 Abrasive Belt 120 Grit 1-1/2x60 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072763560 is a coated abrasive belt engineered for demanding material removal and finishing applications. Built on a heavyweight Y-weight polyester cloth backing, this belt delivers the flexibility and tensile strength needed to handle aggressive stock removal without premature breakdown. The ceramic abrasive grain is applied in a closed-coat configuration at 120 grit, placing it in the fine grade range — suited for finishing passes where surface quality matters but productivity cannot be sacrificed. At 1.5 inches wide by 60 inches long, this belt fits a standard class of bench and floor-standing belt grinders used in fabrication, tool and die, and maintenance environments.

This belt is designed for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and it supports both wet and dry operation. The Series R983 ceramic grain is self-sharpening under pressure, which extends usable belt life compared to conventional aluminum oxide belts. Typical applications include weld blending, edge deburring, surface conditioning on steel and stainless, and precision stock removal in tool grinding. It is installed by machinists, fabricators, maintenance technicians, and metalworking professionals on compatible 1.5 x 60 inch belt grinding machines.

Installation Notes

Belt grinder installation should be performed by qualified personnel with the machine fully de-energized and unplugged before changing belts. Verify belt tracking and tension per the machine manufacturer guidelines before resuming operation. Inspect the contact wheel and platen for wear or debris that could cause uneven belt wear or premature failure. Always wear appropriate eye and hand protection when handling and operating abrasive belts.
