With a 9\/10 cut rating, it quickly refines rougher surfaces, removes polishing marks and surface imperfections, and gets the metal ready for the next stage without wasting time on a compound that is too mild for the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis is the compound to reach for when speed and cutting action matter more than final shine. Its 3\/10 gloss rating makes it ideal as the first step in a multi-stage polishing process, giving you a cleaner, more uniform surface before moving to a finer polishing or finishing compound for added brightness and gloss.\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\u003eHeavy cutting action for initial polishing and surface refinement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended for aluminum, brass, and non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut Rating: 9\/10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloss Rating: 3\/10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent first-stage compound before finer polishing and finishing compounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid bar compound for use with buffing wheels\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\u003eAluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInitial cutting and pre-polishing\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 9\/10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGloss:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy Cut \/ Pre-Polish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTIP: For brass, copper, and soft metals, follow with Blue Polishing Compound for a natural luster, then Green Super Finish Compound for a high-gloss finish.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSafety Tips\/techniques:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightly bring the compound bar into contact with the spinning buffing wheel or felt polishing media to charge the polishing surface.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-description rte\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlways wear proper \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/benchmarkabrasives.com\/collections\/personal-protective-equipment\" title=\"PPE\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePPE\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/a\u003eto include (but not limited to) \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/benchmarkabrasives.com\/collections\/eye-protection\" title=\"safety glasses\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003esafety glasses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/benchmarkabrasives.com\/collections\/hearing-protection\" title=\"Hearing Protection\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ehearing protection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/benchmarkabrasives.com\/collections\/respiratory-protection\" title=\"Respirator\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003erespirator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, and hand protection.
