Norton 78072769216 Abrasive Belt 100 Grit 4x48 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072769216 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry grinding, blending, and finishing operations on metal, wood, and composites. Built on a heavy X-weight cloth backing with closed-coat aluminum oxide abrasive, this belt delivers consistent material removal at 100 grit (medium grade). The Series R228 construction uses a closed-coat density, meaning abrasive grains cover the full surface area for aggressive, uniform cutting action. This belt is a standard choice for stationary and portable belt sanders used by metal fabricators, millwrights, and general maintenance technicians.

This abrasive belt fits 4 x 48 inch belt sanders commonly found in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and woodworking operations. The aluminum oxide abrasive is well suited for ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as hardwoods. At 100 grit medium grade, it handles intermediate stock removal and surface prep work ahead of finer finishing passes. The dry-only rating means it is not intended for wet sanding applications.

Key Features

• 100 grit medium grade aluminum oxide for consistent intermediate stock removal
• Closed-coat construction maximizes grain coverage for aggressive cutting action
• Heavy X-weight cloth backing resists tearing under high-tension belt sander loads
• Dry operation rating suitable for metal, wood, and composite surfaces
• Series R228 coated abrasive construction for repeatable performance across passes

Compatibility

Designed to fit belt sanders and grinders that accept a 4 x 48 inch abrasive belt. Dry operation only.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by a qualified operator with the sander unplugged or locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify belt tracking and tension before powering the machine. Inspect the belt for tears or edge damage before each use and replace immediately if damage is found. Do not use this belt in wet or coolant-flood applications.
