3" PREMIUM PURPLE EXTRA COARSE QUICK CHANGE STRIPPER DISCS - 5 PACK
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.
Quantity: 5 Stripping Discs
Holder Required: 3" Type R Quick Change Holder - Sold Separately

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.
-
- Secure the workpiece before beginning.
- 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.
