Product Specification
BROWN HEAVY CUTTING POLISHING COMPOUND - 1 POUND BAR
When you need serious cutting power on aluminum, brass, and other non-ferrous metals, our Benchmark Abrasives Brown Heavy Cutting Polishing Compound is built to do the heavy lifting. 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.
This 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.
Clean, Easy-Handling Packaging: 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 color-coded bottom 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.
