Norton 78072772209 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 1x24 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072772209 is a ceramic alumina coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive material removal on demanding grinding and finishing applications. Built on a Y-weight polyester backing, this belt delivers the rigidity and durability needed for high-pressure belt grinding on metal, composites, and other hard materials. At 80 grit, it falls in the coarse grade range, making it well-suited for rapid stock removal and surface conditioning. The closed coat density ensures consistent abrasive coverage across the full belt surface. Rated for both wet and dry operation, it fits standard belt grinder and finishing machine setups used by fabricators and metalworking trades.

This belt is sized at 1 inch wide by 24 inches in overall length, a common configuration for narrow belt grinders, file belt sanders, and bench-top grinding machines found in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and tool-and-die environments. The R983 series construction is intended for high-stock-removal tasks where a standard aluminum oxide belt would wear prematurely. Wet or dry compatibility gives technicians flexibility when coolant is used to manage heat during grinding. This is a single-belt package sold individually.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machine operators and fabrication technicians following standard belt grinder procedures. Ensure the machine is fully powered down and unplugged before changing the belt. Verify belt tension and tracking adjustment after installation before resuming operation. Always confirm the belt arrow or splice direction matches the machine rotation direction to prevent premature splice failure.
