Norton 78072769217 Abrasive Belt 220 Grit 6x60 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072769217 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry belt sanding operations on stationary or portable belt sanders. It runs a 220-grit aluminum oxide abrasive on an X-weight cloth backing with a closed-coat density, placing it in the very fine grade range. The closed-coat construction delivers a consistent scratch pattern and resists loading on harder materials, making it a reliable choice for finish sanding passes. Licensed HVAC, woodworking, and metal fabrication shops stock these belts for final surface prep work before finishing or coating.

This belt fits standard 6 x 60 inch belt sander configurations common in industrial finishing, metalworking, and woodworking shops. The aluminum oxide abrasive is well suited for ferrous metals, hardwoods, and composite materials in dry sanding applications. Series R228 identifies the product line within the NORTON coated abrasives catalog, which helps when cross-referencing against shop supply orders or replacement procurement.

Compatibility

Designed to fit belt sanders configured for a 6 x 60 inch abrasive belt. Verify your machine's platen and drive roller dimensions before installation to confirm proper belt fit and tracking.

Installation Notes

Belt installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians familiar with belt sander operation. Disconnect and lock out power to the sander before changing belts. Confirm proper belt direction by checking the arrow printed on the inside of the belt loop — running the belt backward against the seam can cause premature failure. Inspect the platen and tracking adjustment before resuming operation.
