Built on a heavy-duty Y-weight polyester cloth backing, it handles high-tension belt grinding applications without stretching or tearing. The ceramic abrasive grain is self-sharpening, which means it fractures during use to expose fresh cutting edges and maintain consistent cut rate throughout the belt's life. At 60 grit, this is a medium-grade belt suited for stock removal, weld blending, and surface conditioning work. It measures 1.5 inches wide by 60 inches long and weighs 0.5 pounds. The closed coat density maximizes grain coverage for efficient cutting on flat and contoured workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis belt is used in industrial and fabrication shop environments on stationary or portable belt grinding machines that accept a 1.5 x 60 inch belt. It is rated for both wet and dry operation, making it compatible with coolant-assisted grinding setups common in metalworking and tool-and-die applications. The Series R983 ceramic grain construction is well suited for hard alloys, stainless steel, and high-strength materials where conventional aluminum oxide belts wear quickly. Maintenance technicians and fabricators typically reach for this grit range when blending welds or removing scale before progressing to finer finishing grits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic abrasive grain self-sharpens during use for extended belt life and consistent cut rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eY-weight polyester cloth backing resists stretching under high-tension belt grinding conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed coat density maximizes grain coverage for efficient stock removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for wet and dry operation, compatible with coolant-assisted grinding setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60 grit medium grade suited for weld blending, scale removal, and initial surface conditioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries R983 construction optimized for hard metals and high-strength alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement for 1.5 x 60 inch belt grinding machines that accept coated abrasive belts.
