About this item

  • Zirconia alumina is self-sharpening and durable, allowing for a faster cut rate than aluminum oxide
  • Heavy polyester cloth backing is resistant to heat, durable, and flexible, for use on contours or flat surfaces
  • Use this belt for aggressive cut rate and longer life on stainless steel
  • Waterproof abrasives are suitable for use in wet or dry applications
  • File belts are used on file belt grinders and sanders


Norton NorZon Plus R823 durable, polyester backed belts are suitable for use with stainless steel. The self-sharpening zirconia alumina cuts at a rapid rate, while the polyester backing is suitable for moderate- to heavy-pressure applications. This combination of zirconia alumina and polyester backing mean belt performs well on hard metals like stainless steel.

Coated abrasives have individual abrasive grains spaced at a predetermined distance from one another. This is a closed-coat belt. A closed coat covers 100 percent of the surface with abrasive grains, for more stiffness and better surface finish than an equivalent open coat, where abrasive grit covers 50 to 70 percent of the surface. The cloth backing is stiffer, tougher, and thicker than a paper backing. Cloth resists tearing while bending and flexing during use. This belt features a resin bond. Resin bonds have good moisture resistance, are harder and less flexible than glue bonds, and have good heat resistance and grain retention. Resin bonds are useful for abrasive operations with high operating speeds, impact, and sudden loading, as the resin bond is strong.

Zirconia alumina is a self-sharpening abrasive that allows for a faster cut rate and longer life than aluminum oxide, due to its ability to fracture and refracture, creating new cutting edges. Zirconia alumina is often used for high stock removal on wood and metals.

Abrasives are used for a variety of applications from shaping a part to fine finishing, depending on the grit size. Low grit numbers like 40 are coarse and are used for removing excess material and shaping a part. High grit numbers like 400 are fine and help to create a smooth surface finish.

Hard to beat Norton for just about any abrasive needs. Belts, sanding pads, wheels, Norton is always my first choice.

I bought these to grind welds. They work excellent. Much better than some cheap ones I bought recently. The tape holding the two ends together appears cheap and seems like it won't hold, but I didn't have any problems with about twenty plug welds and a bunch of other welds I needed to grind down. One took the place of a five pack of the other ones I used.

Last for a while, I would like to compare it to other brands though. I used them to knock down spot welds in automotive repairs.
