Norton 78072767536 Abrasive Belt 60 Grit 3.5x15.5 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072767536 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive material removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Built on a heavy-duty X-weight polyester cloth backing, it delivers the flexibility and tensile strength needed for both handheld belt sanders and stationary grinding setups. The belt measures 3.5 inches wide by 15.5 inches long and runs 60 grit, placing it in the medium grade range — well suited for stock removal, weld blending, and surface leveling before finish work. It uses zirconia alumina abrasive grain in a closed-coat configuration, which maximizes cutting efficiency across the full belt surface. Rated for both wet and dry operation, it holds up under coolant-assisted grinding conditions common in fabrication shops.

This belt fits belt sanders and grinders used in metal fabrication, welding shops, HVAC duct work, plumbing rough-in, and general maintenance environments. The 3.5 x 15.5 inch format is a common size for portable belt sanders used by trade professionals for deburring pipe ends, cleaning weld seams, and prepping metal surfaces before fitting or coating. The closed-coat zirconia alumina grain is particularly effective on ferrous and stainless metals where consistent cut rate and heat resistance matter. Wet and dry compatibility makes it a versatile choice across job site and shop conditions.

Key Features

• Zirconia alumina grain provides fast, consistent cut rate and resists heat buildup on ferrous metals
• Closed-coat configuration maximizes abrasive surface coverage for aggressive stock removal
• X-weight polyester cloth backing resists tearing and flexes with contoured surfaces
• Rated for both wet and dry operation for compatibility with coolant-assisted grinding
• 60 grit medium grade suitable for weld blending, deburring, and surface prep
• Series R823P construction for consistent performance belt to belt

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or bulk-use abrasive belt for belt sanders and stationary grinders accepting a 3.5 x 15.5 inch belt.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, and trade professionals familiar with belt sander operation. Power down and unplug the sander before changing belts. Confirm belt tracking alignment before restarting the machine to prevent edge wear or belt derailment. Inspect the backing for tears or separation before use, and do not exceed the rated speed of the sander or grinder.
