Norton 78072767945 Abrasive Belt 240 Grit 2x72 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072767945 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry grinding, blending, and finishing applications on stationary or handheld belt sanders. It measures 2 inches wide by 72 inches long and runs a 240 grit aluminum oxide abrasive in a very fine grade. The closed coat density and X-weight cloth backing give the belt added durability under sustained contact pressure. This belt is suited for metalworking, woodworking, and general fabrication tasks where a fine surface finish is required. It is installed and used by machinists, fabricators, and finishing tradespeople working with belt sander equipment in shop or field environments.

This belt fits standard 2 x 72 inch belt sander configurations common in metal fabrication shops, woodworking operations, and maintenance facilities. The R228 series designation identifies the specific abrasive construction line within the NORTON coated abrasive catalog. The dry-only operation rating means this belt should not be used with water, cutting fluids, or coolants. It is a single-piece unit packaged individually and is suited for both production and touch-up finishing work.
