Norton 78072775351 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 2x60 Ceramic

Product Description

The NORTON 78072775351 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive material removal and consistent cut on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Built on a heavy Y-weight polyester cloth backing, this belt handles high-tension applications without stretching or delaminating under load. The ceramic abrasive grain is self-sharpening, which helps maintain cutting efficiency across the full belt life. At 80 grit medium grade, it bridges the gap between heavy stock removal and surface blending. This belt is rated for both wet and dry operation, giving technicians flexibility depending on the workpiece material and machine setup.

This belt is suited for stationary and portable belt grinding, finishing, and weld blending operations in fabrication shops, metal service centers, and maintenance environments. The closed coat construction maximizes grain coverage for fast, consistent cutting on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. At 2 inches wide and 60 inches long, it fits a range of standard industrial belt grinders and finishing machines that use this belt size. Installation and use are typical for metalworking and industrial maintenance trades.

Key Features

• Ceramic abrasive grain — self-sharpening for extended cut life compared to aluminum oxide
• 80 grit medium grade — effective for stock removal and initial surface blending
• Y-weight polyester cloth backing — high tensile strength for demanding belt grinder applications
• Closed coat construction — maximum grain density for fast, uniform cutting action
• Wet and dry compatible — adapts to different workpiece materials and machine setups
• Series R983 construction — consistent belt-to-belt performance for production environments

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement abrasive belt for industrial belt grinders and finishing machines that accept a 2-inch by 60-inch belt configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by metalworking and industrial maintenance technicians. Before changing belts, power down and lock out the grinder per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify belt tracking and tension after installation before returning the machine to service. Inspect the contact wheel and platen for wear that could cause uneven belt loading or premature failure.
