Norton 78072764209 Abrasive Belt 320 Grit 1x30 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 78072764209 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry precision finishing and surface preparation applications. Built on a heavyweight cloth backing (X-weight), this belt carries 320-grit aluminum oxide in a closed-coat configuration, making it well suited for extra-fine finishing passes where a consistent, refined surface is required. At 1 inch wide and 30 inches long, it fits narrow belt sanders and file-belt tools commonly used by machinists, fabricators, and finishing tradespeople. The closed-coat density maximizes abrasive coverage per square inch, delivering uniform stock removal and a smooth finish on metal, wood, and composite surfaces.

This belt is intended for dry operation on narrow belt sanders, pipe and tube finishing tools, and portable file-belt machines. The R228 series construction is suited for detail work on metal components, weld seam blending, and fine finishing prior to polishing or coating. Typical users include metal fabricators, HVAC sheet metal workers, and plumbers performing finish work on pipe and fixture connections. Its compact 1 inch width allows access to tight contours and narrow workpiece profiles where wider belts cannot reach.
