Tru-maxx 7143 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 2x48 Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The TRU-MAXX 7143 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry grinding, blending, and stock removal on belt sanders and stationary finishing machines. It measures 2 inches wide by 48 inches long and runs an 80-grit, medium-grade aluminum oxide abrasive on a closed-coat layout. The polyester cloth backing is rated X-weight, giving it the stiffness and tear resistance needed for sustained pressure passes on metal, wood, and composites. This belt is a standard choice for fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and trade professionals who run high-cycle abrasive operations.

This belt fits 2 x 48 inch belt sander configurations common in metalworking and woodworking environments. The 80-grit medium grade makes it well suited for intermediate material removal, weld blending, and surface prep before finer finishing passes. The closed-coat aluminum oxide grain packs the belt face for efficient cutting on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Dry operation only — no coolant or water exposure is appropriate for this belt. Sold individually; minimum order quantity is 10 units.

Key Features

• 80-grit medium grade aluminum oxide for efficient intermediate stock removal
• Closed-coat abrasive layout maximizes grain density and cutting speed
• X-weight polyester cloth backing resists tearing under sustained belt tension
• Dry-use rated — suitable for ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and wood
• 2 inches x 48 inches dimensions fit standard belt sander machines in that size class

Compatibility

Designed to fit belt sanders and stationary abrasive finishing machines that accept a 2-inch wide by 48-inch long abrasive belt.

Installation Notes

Install on a belt sander with the machine powered off and unplugged before changing the belt. Verify belt tracking adjustment after installation and run the machine briefly at speed before applying workpiece pressure. Do not use this belt with water, coolant, or lubricants — it is rated for dry operation only. Inspect the belt seam and backing for damage before each use; discard any belt showing tears, delamination, or worn-through abrasive.
