Product Specification
4-1/2" X 7/8" LONG LIFE PAINT & RUST STRIPPING CUP WHEEL - 1 PIECE
The Benchmark Abrasives 4-1/2" x 7/8" long life paint & rust stripping cup wheel is built for longer stripping jobs where abrasive life is the priority. Silicon carbide abrasive is distributed throughout an open nonwoven nylon web, while the harder resin structure increases durability for longer-running paint, rust, coating, adhesive, epoxy, and surface-preparation jobs.
Compared with the standard black stripping wheel, the blue long life version delivers a slower, more controlled cut in exchange for increased service life. Its open-web construction helps shed debris and resist loading, making it a strong choice for fabrication, maintenance, restoration, automotive, and general metalworking applications where consistent stripping performance over a longer period is the priority.

For a complete Benchmark setup, consider the Benchmark Abrasives 4-1/2" Corded Angle Grinder (BMT-AGBC4570_1, 11,000 RPM), with the correct mounting hardware and guard clearance for this wheel.
Always confirm the wheel is mounted correctly, the grinder is properly guarded, and the machine's maximum no-load speed does not exceed the wheel's 13,300 RPM maximum rating.
Safety Tips
- Never exceed the maximum rated speed of 13,300 RPM.
- Inspect the wheel before use and replace it if damaged.
- Confirm the wheel is securely mounted before starting the grinder.
- Keep the grinder guard properly installed and positioned.
-
- Secure the workpiece before beginning.
- Allow the abrasive to perform the stripping action rather than applying excessive pressure.
- Test on an inconspicuous area when preserving the underlying finish is important.
- Follow all machine and abrasive safety instructions.
