Norton 78072789495 Abrasive Belt 40 Grit 3/8x13 in

Product Description

The NORTON 78072789495 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive material removal on ferrous and non-ferrous surfaces. Running at 40 grit, this belt falls in the coarse grade range, making it well suited for rapid stock removal, weld blending, and surface conditioning tasks. The belt measures 3/8 inches wide by 13 inches long and uses aluminum oxide abrasive grain bonded to a cloth backing with a closed coat density. The X-weight cloth backing provides durability under moderate tension and is rated for dry operation only. Fabricators, metalworkers, and maintenance technicians reach for this belt when a fast-cutting, durable abrasive is needed for tight-radius or narrow-profile belt tools.

This belt is built for use on narrow belt sanders, detail sanders, and file belt machines that accept a 3/8 inch by 13 inch configuration. The coarse 40-grit cut makes it appropriate for initial surface prep, paint or rust removal, and deburring operations on metal, wood, and composite materials. The Series R228 designation identifies it within Norton's coated abrasive line. Dry operation only — do not use with water, cutting fluids, or other liquid coolants.
