The Benchmark Abrasives 3" premium quick change stripper discs are the aggressive Purple option for fast removal of paint, rust, coatings, adhesives, epoxy, oxidation, and other surface contamination. Sharper silicon carbide abrasive grains provide a faster, more aggressive stripping action, helping you finish demanding stripping jobs faster.
The larger 3" diameter covers more surface area than a 2" quick-change disc while still providing excellent control for localized surface preparation, contours, and smaller work areas. The open nonwoven nylon web helps shed debris and resist loading, while the Type R quick-change attachment makes disc changes fast and convenient.

Features & Benefits
Sharper abrasive grains provide a faster, more aggressive stripping action.
Silicon carbide abrasive is effective for paint, rust, oxidation, and coating removal.
Open nonwoven construction helps resist loading and shed debris.
3" diameter provides increased coverage compared with smaller quick-change discs.
Type R attachment allows fast disc changes between operations.
Flexible web conforms well to contours and irregular surfaces.
Designed for applications where cutting speed is the priority.
Materials & Applications
Ideal for removing:
Paint
Rust and oxidation
Coatings
Adhesives
Epoxy
Light scale and surface contamination
Suitable for use on:
Steel
Stainless steel
Cast iron
Aluminum
Copper
Brass
The 3" size is especially useful when you want faster stripping plus more coverage per pass while retaining the control and convenience of a quick-change system.
Machine Compatibility
Requires a Benchmark Abrasives 3" Type R Quick Change Holder, sold separately.
Use with a compatible die grinder or pneumatic grinder that accepts the holder's 1/4" shank, is approved for a 3" accessory, and has a maximum no-load speed at or below the disc's 10,500 RPM rating.
Choose a low-speed tool for these 3" discs. The Benchmark BMT-QC90_1 runs at 15,000 RPM, above this disc's 10,500 RPM limit, so it is not a match.
Safety Tips
Never exceed the maximum rated speed of 10,500 RPM.
Always use the correctly sized 3" Type R quick-change holder.
Confirm the disc is fully engaged with the holder before starting the tool.
Verify the tool is approved for a 3" accessory and does not exceed 10,500 RPM.
Inspect the disc and holder before use and replace damaged components.
Avoid excessive pressure; allow the abrasive to perform the stripping action.
Test on an inconspicuous area when preserving the underlying finish is important.
Follow all machine, holder, and abrasive safety instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Purple Extra Coarse version uses sharper abrasive grains for a faster, more aggressive stripping action. It is the better choice when removal speed is the priority.
Choose Purple for aggressive stripping jobs where you want to remove paint, rust, coatings, oxidation, or other surface contamination as quickly as possible.
Purple is focused on faster, more aggressive cutting. Blue uses harder resins to provide longer life with a slower, more controlled cut.
They require the Benchmark Abrasives 3" Type R Quick Change Holder, sold separately.
No. The disc attaches to the matching Type R holder, and the holder's 1/4" shank mounts into the compatible tool.
The 3" diameter covers more surface area per pass while still providing the control and fast-change convenience of a compact Type R system.
It uses silicon carbide abrasive distributed throughout an open nonwoven nylon web.
They are designed for surface stripping rather than heavy stock removal. Because they are still abrasive products, test first when preserving dimensions or a finished surface is critical.
Use a tool approved for 3" discs with a matching Type R holder and a maximum no-load speed of 10,500 RPM or less. The Dynabrade 49425 (3,200 RPM, 1/4" collet) meets the speed and shank requirements, but its 3" disc-and-holder capacity must be confirmed before use.
