Norton 78072769684 Abrasive Belt 50 Grit 2x132 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 78072769684 is a coated abrasive belt engineered for demanding material removal and surface preparation tasks. Measuring 2 inches wide by 132 inches long, it runs on compatible belt grinders and abrasive belt machines. The belt features 50-grit aluminum oxide abrasive in a closed-coat configuration on a heavy-duty X-weight cloth backing, delivering aggressive stock removal at a coarse grade. It is suited for dry grinding, deburring, and shaping operations on metal, wood, and composite materials. Fabricators, welders, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers and users of this belt.

This abrasive belt fits bench-top and floor-standing belt grinders, pipe and weld grinding rigs, and portable belt sanding machines that accept a 2-inch by 132-inch belt. Its coarse 50-grit rating makes it appropriate for rapid weld seam blending, heavy rust and scale removal, and initial shaping passes where fine surface finish is not the primary goal. Dry-only operation applies — do not use with cutting fluids or water, as the cloth backing and bond system are not rated for wet use.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinders and abrasive machines that accept a 2-inch wide by 132-inch long abrasive belt in dry grinding applications.

Installation Notes

Install and replace abrasive belts with the machine fully powered off and unplugged. Confirm belt tracking and tension according to the grinder manufacturer's guidelines before operation. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when handling and operating abrasive belts. Do not exceed the machine's rated belt speed, and never use this belt in wet or flood-coolant conditions.
