Product Specification

3" QUICK CHANGE DISCS FOR ALUMINUM - 25 PACK

Benchmark Abrasives 3-inch quick-change sanding disc for aluminum is designed for fast grinding, blending, deburring, and surface preparation on aluminum and other soft, non-ferrous metals. Its premium abrasive grain delivers an aggressive, consistent cut while the specialized stearate coating helps prevent loading and material buildup.

Unlike standard sanding discs that can quickly clog when used on aluminum, the stearate treatment liquefies slightly as heat develops during sanding. This creates a protective barrier over the abrasive surface, helping prevent aluminum particles from sticking to the disc. The result is a cleaner cut, longer disc life, and less downtime spent replacing clogged abrasives.

The compact 3-inch size provides excellent control when working in tight spaces, around curves, inside corners, and on smaller components. The quick-change attachment allows operators to switch discs in seconds without tools, making it ideal for fabrication shops, automotive work, maintenance operations, and production environments.

Quantity: 25 pieces (Mixed grit packs are 20 pieces)

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Henry ★★★★★

I grabbed the 25 pack to strip old paint and oxidation off some aluminum trim pieces, and the quick change backing makes swapping discs on my angle grinder way faster than the old stick-on kind. They cut through the metal without loading up or leaving deep gouges.

Joshua ★★★★★

Bought these for cleaning up welds on a small aluminum project and they held up way better than the cheap ones I used before. The quick-change roll-on backing makes swapping discs fast, and 25 in a pack means I'm not rationing them.

Carter ★★★★★

These cut through 1/8" aluminum plate way faster than the cheaper discs I used to buy, and the quick-change backing holds tight even at high RPM. Got all 25 in the pack and none of them glazed over.
