Benchmark Abrasives 3" bristle brush quick change discs use aluminum oxide abrasive embedded throughout flexible bristles for controlled cleaning, coating removal, light deburring, blending, and surface conditioning on metal. The larger 3" working diameter provides more coverage than smaller quick change brushes while still conforming to irregular surfaces and contours.
Available in 50, 80, and 120 grit, these R-Type quick change bristle brushes provide a progression from heavier cleaning to finer surface conditioning. They are effective for removing rust, paint, oxidation, varnish, and surface contamination while allowing fast disc changes between cleaning and finishing steps. A matching 3" R-Type quick change holder is required and sold separately.
Flexible abrasive bristles conform to irregular and contoured metal surfaces
Aluminum oxide abrasive provides dependable cleaning and conditioning performance
3" diameter provides increased surface coverage
R-Type quick change mounting allows fast disc changes
Available in three grit options for heavier cleaning through finer conditioning
Effective for rust, paint, oxidation, varnish, and surface-contaminant removal
Suitable for cleaning, light deburring, blending, finishing, and surface preparation
Applications
Use the 3" Bristle Brush Quick Change Disc for:
Rust and oxidation removal
Paint and coating removal
Varnish removal
Surface-contaminant cleanup
Light deburring
Surface blending
Metal cleaning and conditioning
Surface preparation before coating or finishing
For best results, use light, controlled pressure and allow the abrasive bristles to perform the cutting action.
Materials
Suitable applications include:
Steel
Cast iron
Wrought iron
Titanium
Nickel and appropriate nickel alloys
Aluminum
Copper
Zinc alloys
Magnesium
Always test on a small area when surface appearance or dimensional preservation is critical.
Machine Compatibility
This disc requires a matching 3" R-Type quick change holder. The holder, disc, and machine must all be properly rated for the tool's maximum speed.
Compatible examples include:
Benchmark Abrasives BMT-QC90_1 Right Angle Pneumatic Quick Change Sander — use with a matching 3" Type R backing pad rated for at least the sander's 15,000 RPM maximum.
Do not assume compatibility based solely on spindle, collet, or holder connection. Confirm that the machine permits the accessory diameter and type and that every component in the assembly is properly speed rated.
Safety Tips
Do not exceed the 25,000 RPM maximum speed of the brush.
Always follow the lowest RPM rating of the brush, holder, and power tool.
Use only a properly sized and securely mounted 3" R-Type quick change holder.
Inspect the brush and holder before each use.
Do not use damaged, cracked, excessively worn, or improperly seated components.
Use light, controlled pressure rather than forcing the brush into the workpiece.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is designed for metal cleaning and surface conditioning applications including rust, paint, oxidation, varnish, and surface-contaminant removal, along with light deburring and blending.
Benchmark Abrasives bristle brushes use aluminum oxide abrasive.
The 3" bristle brush is available in 50 grit green, 80 grit yellow, and 120 grit white.
Choose 50 grit for heavier cleaning and coating removal, 80 grit for balanced cleaning and conditioning, and 120 grit for finer surface conditioning, particularly on softer nonferrous metals such as aluminum.
Yes. A compatible 3" R-Type quick change holder is required and sold separately.
The maximum speed is 25,000 RPM, with a recommended operating range of 15,000–25,000 RPM. Always follow the lowest speed rating of every component in the complete assembly.
Yes. The Benchmark Abrasives BMT-QC90_1 supports 3" Type R discs when used with a matching 3" Type R backing pad. Follow the lowest speed rating of the brush, pad, and tool.
Yes. Choose 120 grit white for lighter conditioning, use light pressure, and test a small area to check the finish.
These brushes are intended primarily for cleaning, coating removal, light deburring, blending, and surface conditioning. Heavy weld removal and significant stock removal require an abrasive designed for grinding.
