Norton 78072774447 Abrasive Belt 60 Grit 2x30 Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The NORTON 78072774447 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry grinding, blending, and finishing operations on metal and wood surfaces. Built on a heavyweight X-weight cloth backing with closed-coat aluminum oxide abrasive, this belt delivers consistent stock removal at 60 grit medium grade. It measures 2 inches wide by 30 inches long, fitting standard bench-top and portable belt sanders common in metalworking, fabrication, and woodworking shops. HVAC sheet metal fabricators, pipefitters, and general tradespeople reach for this belt when they need reliable edge deburring and surface prep before fitting or welding.

This belt is suited for dry-use applications on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, hardwood, and composite materials. The R228 series designation identifies it within the NORTON coated abrasives line. At 60 grit, it sits in the medium-grade range, making it appropriate for initial material removal and weld seam blending rather than fine finishing. Typical install scenarios include bench grinder belt attachments, handheld belt sanders, and stationary 2 x 30 inch belt sanding machines found in trade shops and light manufacturing environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by the machine operator or maintenance technician. Power down and unplug the belt sander before changing abrasive belts. Confirm belt tracking direction matches the arrow printed on the belt backing before tensioning. Inspect the platen and drive rollers for wear or debris that could cause uneven belt contact or premature failure.
