Norton 78072780901 Abrasive Belt 120 Grit 1/4x18 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072780901 is a coated abrasive belt designed for precision material removal on narrow-profile workpieces. Built on a cloth backing with X-weight designation, this belt delivers consistent cut with 120-grit aluminum oxide abrasive under dry operating conditions. The closed-coat density maximizes abrasive coverage across the belt surface, producing a finer finish per pass and extending useful belt life on ferrous and non-ferrous stock. At 1/4 inch wide and 18 inches long, it suits file belt sanders and detail finishing tools commonly used by tradespeople and fabricators working in tight or contoured areas.

This belt is part of NORTON Series R228 and is sized for narrow file-belt tools used in deburring, weld blending, and surface finishing applications. Its 120-grit aluminum oxide construction makes it appropriate for fine stock removal and pre-finish work on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. The dry-use, closed-coat design is well suited to shop environments where consistent scratch pattern and surface uniformity are required before final finishing steps.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed with the sander unplugged or air supply disconnected. Confirm belt tracking and tension before powering the tool. Inspect the belt for tears or glazing before each use and replace when abrasive loading or wear reduces cut rate. This product is rated for dry use only — do not use with cutting fluids or coolants.
