Key Features & Benefits

Product Features Overview
Feature Benefit
3X Faster Paint Removal Silicon carbide abrasive removes paint, rust, and coatings 3X faster than standard abrasives while the non-woven web design prevents deep scratches or damage to underlying metal surfaces. This aggressive cutting action reduces project time while maintaining surface integrity for professional results.
Load-Resistant Non-Woven Construction Open web construction resists clogging with debris, maintaining consistent cutting action throughout the disc's life and reducing the need for frequent replacements. This design prevents loading with paint and contaminants that would reduce effectiveness in traditional abrasive discs.
8,000 RPM High-Speed Rating Rated for up to 8,000 RPM operation, these buffing discs work smoothly with angle grinders and die grinders without excessive vibration or heat buildup. This high-speed capability allows faster material removal while maintaining operator control and safety during extended use.
50% More Efficient Than Wire Provides 50% better rust and coating removal efficiency compared to wire brushes while eliminating wire contamination risk and residue concerns. This efficiency reduces labor time and ensures cleaner surface preparation for subsequent coating or welding operations.
