Norton 78072765929 Abrasive Belt 240 Grit 2x48 Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 78072765929 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry finishing and surface preparation on bench and belt sanders. Running 2 inches wide and 48 inches long, this belt uses aluminum oxide grain at 240 grit, placing it in the very fine grade range. The closed-coat construction keeps abrasive grain densely packed across the cloth backing, delivering consistent scratch patterns and predictable material removal on metal, wood, and composites. The X-weight cloth backing provides stiffness and durability under sustained load, making it a dependable choice for production finishing as well as detail work.

This belt is suited for final-pass finishing on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, hardwood, and painted or primed surfaces. At 240 grit, it removes light tool marks, blends welds, and prepares surfaces for coating or inspection. It is a dry-operation belt and should not be used with water or cutting fluids. Metalworkers, fabricators, woodworkers, and general maintenance technicians commonly run this belt on stationary belt sanders, bench-mounted combination units, and inline sanding setups where a 2 inches by 48 inches belt is the standard consumable.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians following standard belt-sander service procedures. Power down and disconnect the machine from its power source before changing the belt. Verify belt tracking and tension per the equipment manufacturer's guidelines after installing a new belt. Inspect the belt for tears or splice separation before resuming operation, and never operate a damaged belt at speed.
