Benchmark Abrasives 1/2" x 1" Ceramic Spiral Bands are built for demanding metal-removal applications where aggressive cutting and access to smaller areas are both important. The 1/2" diameter reaches into openings and confined areas, while the 1" axial width provides more abrasive contact than the shorter 1/2" x 1/2" size.
Made with ceramic abrasive on an X-weight polycotton cloth backing, these bands are well suited to heavier grinding, deburring, and stock removal on stainless steel, super alloys, and other demanding metals. Available in 36, 60, 80, and 120 grit, they cover coarse material removal through fine blending and surface preparation.

Materials & Applications
Best For:
Heavy material removal
Aggressive deburring
Grinding and blending
Removing parting lines
Surface preparation
Curved and contoured surfaces
Confined and difficult-to-access areas
Suitable Materials:
Cast iron, steel, stainless steel, titanium, nickel, wrought iron, super alloys, copper, brass, and tin.
Machine & Drum Compatibility
Use these spiral bands with the matching 1/2" x 1" Rubber Expanding Drum, sold separately.
The expanding drum has a 1/4" shank for use with compatible:
Make sure the band is fully seated and supported by the correctly sized expanding drum.
Inspect the band and drum before use and replace damaged or excessively worn components.
Do not allow the abrasive band to extend beyond the supporting drum.
Follow the speed limits for the band, expanding drum, and power tool. Never exceed the rating of the lowest-rated component.
Wear appropriate eye, hearing, respiratory, and hand protection for the material and application.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Each package contains 10 abrasive spiral bands. The matching 1/2" x 1" Rubber Expanding Drum is sold separately.
The maximum speed is 20,000 RPM when this 1/2" x 1" ceramic spiral band is mounted on the matching expanding drum. Always follow the lowest RPM rating shown on the band, drum, and power tool.
Choose ceramic for demanding metal-removal applications where aggressive cutting is the priority, especially on stainless steel and super alloys. Zirconia is also a strong choice for aggressive stock removal, while aluminum oxide is the more economical general-purpose option and offers a wider grit range for finer refinement.
36-60 grit is coarse and best suited to heavy stock removal and aggressive deburring. 80 grit is a medium grit for general aggressive sanding and blending, while 120 grit is a fine grit for blending, scratch refinement, and finish preparation.
Both use a 1/2" inner diameter. The 1/2" x 1" band has twice the axial width, providing more abrasive contact for longer surfaces. The 1/2" x 1/2" size is better suited to more localized work in tighter areas.
Yes. Stainless steel is one of the listed materials for these ceramic spiral bands and is a strong application for ceramic abrasive.
Wet-use approval has not been established for this product. Use them for dry applications unless product-specific wet-use instructions are provided.
Mount the band on the matching 1/2" x 1" rubber expanding drum, which has a 1/4" shank for compatible die grinders and rotary drills. Make sure the tool accepts a 1/4" shank and stays within the 20,000 RPM maximum for the band-and-drum assembly.
