Norton 78072780469 Abrasive Belt 40 Grit 3/4x18 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072780469 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry material removal on portable and stationary belt sanding equipment. It measures 3/4 inches wide by 18 inches long and carries a 40-grit coarse aluminum oxide abrasive grain. The aluminum oxide mineral delivers consistent cut rate and durability across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Cloth backing at X weight provides the flexibility and tensile strength needed to handle aggressive stock removal passes without tearing. This belt is part of the R228 series and features a closed coat density, meaning the abrasive grain covers the full face of the belt for maximum cutting action. Trades and maintenance professionals use it for fast material removal and surface preparation.

This belt fits narrow belt sanders and file belt attachments that accept 3/4 inches by 18 inches belts. It is suited for dry operation only and is commonly used in metal fabrication shops, maintenance and repair settings, and general industrial applications where coarse stock removal is required. The closed coat construction makes it most effective on harder metals and wood where loading is less of a concern.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance technicians and fabrication professionals familiar with belt sanding equipment. Power down and unplug the sander before changing belts. Confirm belt tracking direction arrows align with the drive wheel rotation before securing the belt. Inspect the platen or contact wheel for wear before installing a new belt to avoid uneven loading.
