Built on a heavy X-weight cloth backing with closed-coat aluminum oxide abrasive, this belt delivers consistent cut and finish on wood, metal, and composite materials. The 240 grit rating places it in the very fine grade range, making it well suited for finish sanding passes where surface prep for coatings or final smoothing is the goal. The closed-coat construction maximizes abrasive coverage across the belt surface, reducing skip marks and improving finish uniformity. Metalworkers, woodworkers, and general fabrication tradespeople are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis belt fits 3 inches by 21 inches belt sander configurations commonly found in both bench-top and handheld portable units. At 240 grit very fine grade, it is typically used in later-stage sanding sequences after coarser stock-removal grits have been run. Suitable for dry sanding applications only. The R228 series designation indicates the specific abrasive construction line within the NORTON coated abrasives product family. Sold individually, one belt per package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e240 grit very fine grade for finish sanding and pre-coating surface prep\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum oxide abrasive material provides durable, consistent cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClosed-coat construction maximizes abrasive density and finish uniformity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy X-weight cloth backing resists tearing under load on power sanders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDry operation only — not rated for wet sanding use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eR228 series coated abrasive construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to fit belt sanders that accept a 3 inches wide by 21 inches long abrasive belt.
