Norton 78072772928 Abrasive Belt 40 Grit 2x30 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 78072772928 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive material removal on metal, wood, and similar surfaces. Part of the R228 series, this belt measures 2 inches wide by 30 inches long and carries a 40-grit coarse aluminum oxide abrasive. The closed-coat construction keeps the abrasive grain tightly packed across the cloth backing, delivering consistent cut rate and surface coverage throughout the belt's service life. The X-weight cloth backing provides durability under load and resists tearing during extended dry-operation use. Suitable for portable belt sanders and stationary grinders used in fabrication, maintenance, and surface prep applications.

This belt is suited for dry grinding, deburring, and stock removal tasks in light industrial, maintenance, and trade shop environments. The 40-grit coarse rating makes it appropriate for initial surface preparation, weld blending, and rapid material removal where fine finish is not the goal. Metal fabricators, pipefitters, and general maintenance technicians are the primary users. The 2 x 30 inch size fits a wide range of portable and benchtop belt sander configurations common in trade shops.
