The Benchmark Abrasives 3" x 5/8-11 abrasive nylon cup brush is built for broad surface cleaning, scuffing, and coating-preparation work with a flexible abrasive action that does not rely on steel wire. Its abrasive-impregnated nylon filaments conform to the work surface while providing consistent cutting action for paint removal, oxidation cleanup, surface preparation, and finish refinement.
The 3" cup profile provides broad face contact for efficient coverage on larger areas, while the 5/8-11 threaded mount is designed for compatible angle grinders. Available in 80, 120, and 240 grit, this brush covers applications from coarse rust and coating removal through finer preparation on wood, plastics, fiberglass, and other materials. Use it to scuff surfaces before primer or bed-liner application, following the coating manufacturer's final preparation requirements.

Features
Abrasive-impregnated nylon filaments for cleaning and surface preparation
3" cup profile provides broad face contact for efficient surface coverage
5/8-11 threaded mounting for compatible angle grinders
Flexible filament action conforms to the work surface
Available in coarse, medium, and fine grit options
Suitable for scuffing and preparation before primer or bed-liner systems
Useful for paint, oxidation, corrosion, and finish removal across multiple materials
Applications & Performance
Choose the grit based on the material and desired level of aggressiveness:
The cup shape provides broad surface contact, making it useful for larger flat or gently contoured areas. For primer, bed-liner, or other coating preparation, follow the coating manufacturer's required surface profile and preparation instructions rather than relying on brushing alone.
Materials
Suitable applications vary by grit and may include:
Steel
Stainless steel
Cast iron
Aluminum
Brass
Copper
Wood
Fiberglass
Plastic
Hard rubber
Stone and masonry
Machine Compatibility
Designed for compatible angle grinders using a 5/8-11 spindle and a maximum tool speed that does not exceed the brush's 10,000 RPM rating.
Compatible examples include:
Makita® XAG04Z
Milwaukee® Models: 2880-20, 2881-20
These models have 5/8-11 spindles and 8,500 RPM maximum speeds, below the brush's 10,000 RPM rating. Before use, confirm the tool permits this cup size and brushing application, with correct thread engagement, hub seating, guard clearance, and auxiliary handle use.
Do not use on grinders with a maximum speed above 10,000 RPM, even if the grinder has a lower-speed setting.
Safety Tips
Always wear appropriate eye, face, respiratory, hearing, and hand protection for the application.
Never exceed the brush's 10,000 RPM maximum rating.
Confirm the grinder's maximum rated speed is at or below the brush rating before use.
Thread the brush fully onto the spindle and confirm proper seating before starting the tool.
Inspect the brush before every use and discontinue use if the brush, hub, or mounting components are damaged.
Start with light pressure and allow the abrasive nylon filaments to do the work.
Avoid excessive pressure or speed that can generate unnecessary heat or distort the nylon filaments.
Test on an inconspicuous area when working on finished, polished, coated, plastic, wood, or other appearance-sensitive surfaces.
Follow all grinder-manufacturer requirements for guarding, auxiliary handles, accessory clearance, and brushing applications.
Brush wet/dry capability does not override restrictions of the power tool being used.

Frequently Asked Questions
This brush uses abrasive-impregnated nylon filaments rather than steel wire. Abrasive grains embedded in the nylon filaments provide the cutting action, providing flexible cleaning and surface-preparation action across a range of materials.
Choose 80 grit gray for coarser paint, oxidation, and surface-rust removal on harder metals; 120 grit orange for medium cleaning on masonry and softer metals; and 240 grit blue for finer work on plastics, fiberglass, hard rubber, and wood finishes. Test first to match the grit to your desired finish.
The brush is 3" in diameter and has a 5/8-11 threaded mount for compatible angle grinders.
Compatible grinder examples include the Makita® XAG04Z and Milwaukee® 2880-20 and 2881-20; all three are rated at 8,500 RPM. Confirm the tool permits this cup size and brushing application, and check thread engagement, hub seating, and guard clearance. Use the auxiliary handle as directed by the tool manufacturer.
No. The brush's speed rating must meet or exceed the maximum speed marked on the grinder. Turning down an 11,000 RPM grinder does not make it suitable for this 10,000 RPM brush.
This threaded cup is designed for compatible angle grinders, not direct mounting in a drill chuck or die-grinder collet. For drill use, choose a nylon brush with a 1/4" shank.
No. 10,000 RPM is the published maximum speed rating, not a recommended working speed. Use only the speed needed to achieve effective brushing while remaining within the brush and tool limits.
Yes. Use it to scuff surfaces before applying primer or a bed liner. Follow the coating manufacturer's cleaning and surface-profile requirements for the final preparation.
Abrasive nylon can change the surface finish. Select the appropriate grit and test an inconspicuous area when appearance is important.
