Norton 78072769001 Abrasive Belt 36 Grit 6x48 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072769001 is a coated abrasive belt engineered for aggressive material removal in heavy grinding and shaping applications. Built on a polyester cloth backing with Y-weight construction, it delivers the rigidity and tear resistance required on wide belt sanders and floor-standing grinders. The abrasive material is ceramic alumina, run in a closed-coat configuration at 36 grit for very coarse cutting action. Designed for both wet and dry operation, this belt suits metal fabrication shops, woodworking facilities, and industrial maintenance environments where consistent cut rate and belt life are priorities.

This belt fits wide-belt and combination belt-and-disc machines configured for a 6 x 48 inch belt. It is well suited to stock removal on steel, stainless, aluminum, and hardwood. The Series R984 line targets production environments where downtime from frequent belt changes is a concern. Licensed machinists, metal fabricators, and industrial maintenance technicians are the typical end users, though the belt also serves skilled trades needing fast surface preparation on structural steel or weld seams.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by a qualified technician following the machine manufacturer's belt-tracking and tensioning procedures. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the spent belt or installing a new one. Confirm belt tracking direction aligns with the arrow marked on the belt splice before operation. Inspect the platen, contact wheel, and guard assembly for wear or damage prior to running a new belt.
