Designed for aggressive material removal and pre-polishing of stainless steel, titanium, and other ferrous metals, its 10\/10 cut rating makes it the strongest cutting compound in the lineup. It quickly attacks surface imperfections and prepares hard metals for the finer polishing stages that follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWith a 1\/10 gloss rating, this compound is built for correction—not final shine. Use it as the first step when working with rough, distressed, or unfinished metal where significant cutting action is needed before moving into finer compounds. It is an ideal starting point for multi-stage polishing jobs where getting the surface properly refined first is critical to achieving a clean, high-gloss final finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eClean, Easy-Handling Packaging:\u003c\/b\u003e Each polishing compound bar is wrapped in a protective, easy-to-handle package designed to keep the compound off your hands and make application to the buffing wheel or felt polishing media cleaner and more controlled. A convenient peel-open zipper runs along the side of the package, allowing you to expose only the portion of the compound you need while leaving the rest of the bar covered and protected. As the bar wears down, simply peel the packaging back further. A \u003cb\u003ecolor-coded bottom\u003c\/b\u003e provides quick visual identification, making it easy to grab the correct compound when multiple cutting and finishing compounds are being used at the same workstation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/b\u003e 1 piece\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight – 1 lb. bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuper heavy cutting action for aggressive surface refinement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended for stainless steel, titanium, and ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut Rating: 10\/10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloss Rating: 1\/10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal first-stage compound for demanding polishing applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for aggressive surface refinement and pre-polishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid bar compound for use with buffing wheels and felt polishing media\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in 1 lb. and 3 lb. bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMachines Used On:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eBench grinders and drills using a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/benchmarkabrasives.com\/collections\/buffing-products\/products\/copy-of-6-x-1-2-x-1-flannel-cushion-sewn-buffing-wheel\"\u003espiral sewn buffing wheel\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e for cutting and initial surface refinement.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eAngle grinders using Benchmark \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/benchmarkabrasives.com\/collections\/buffing-products\/products\/4-1-2-x-7-8-felt-polishing-flap-disc\"\u003efelt flap discs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eDie grinders and quick-change sanders using Benchmark \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/benchmarkabrasives.com\/collections\/buffing-products\/products\/2-felt-quick-change-discs-10-pack\"\u003efelt quick-change discs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eApplication:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNickel \u0026amp; chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel and other ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy cutting and pre-polishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst-stage surface correction before finer polishing compounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePolishing Performance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style: none; padding: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10\/10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGloss:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Super Heavy Cut \/ Pre-Polish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTIP: For stainless steel and nickel\/chrome, follow with Pink Polishing Compound and finish with Green.
