Norton 78072770042 Abrasive Belt 150 Grit 6x48 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072770042 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive stock removal and finishing on metal, wood, and composite materials. Measuring 6 inches wide by 48 inches long, this belt uses zirconia alumina as its abrasive material, a self-sharpening grain well suited for high-pressure grinding and blending applications. At 150 grit, it falls in the fine grade range, making it appropriate for finishing passes and surface prep rather than heavy material removal. The polyester cloth backing is rated X-weight, delivering the rigidity and tear resistance needed for stationary and portable belt grinders operating under load. The closed coat density ensures consistent scratch patterns across the workpiece.

This belt is built for use in metal fabrication shops, welding operations, woodworking facilities, and general manufacturing environments. It is compatible with both wet and dry operation, giving machinists and fabricators flexibility depending on the material being worked and the finish required. The R823P series designation identifies it as a production-grade belt intended for extended-use industrial applications. It is sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians familiar with belt grinder operation. Power down and lockout the machine before changing the belt. Ensure the belt is tracked and tensioned according to the machine manufacturer's specifications before operating. Inspect the contact wheel and platen for wear before mounting a new belt to avoid premature belt failure.
