Norton 78072764936 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 2x48 Inches Ceramic

Product Description

The NORTON 78072764936 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive material removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Running at 80 grit medium grade, this belt delivers consistent stock removal with reduced loading across a range of power sanding and grinding applications. The ceramic abrasive grain is known for its self-sharpening fracture pattern, which maintains cut rate over the belt's service life. A closed-coat, Y-weight polyester cloth backing provides high tensile strength and resistance to tearing under load. The belt measures 2 inches wide by 48 inches long and weighs approximately 0.5 pounds.

This belt is suited for use on stationary and portable belt sanders in fabrication shops, maintenance environments, and industrial production settings. The 2 x 48 inch format is a common size for bench-top belt sanding machines used in metalworking and woodworking. The wet-or-dry rated construction allows use with water or cutting fluids, supporting both dry stock removal and wet finishing operations where surface temperature control is needed.

Key Features

• 80 grit medium grade ceramic abrasive for fast, consistent stock removal
• Closed-coat construction minimizes grain spacing for aggressive cutting action
• Y-weight polyester cloth backing resists tearing and flexing under sustained load
• Wet and dry rated for use with or without cutting fluid
• Self-sharpening ceramic grain extends usable belt life compared to aluminum oxide
• Series R983 construction for dimensional consistency across production runs

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for 2 x 48 inch abrasive belt sanders in metalworking, woodworking, and general fabrication applications where 80 grit ceramic belts are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by the equipment operator following the belt sander manufacturer's belt-change procedure. Power down and unplug or lockout the machine before replacing the belt. Confirm belt tracking direction arrows align with machine rotation before energizing. Inspect the platen and idler roller for wear or debris before mounting a new belt.
