Product Specification

Nonwoven And Interleaf Flap Wheel Abrasive Sanding Drum Set

The 5-Piece Interleaf & Non-Woven Drum Sander Set from Benchmark Abrasives is engineered to deliver a complete, professional finishing workflow—from controlled material removal and blending to fine surface conditioning and final prep.

This set combines interleaf sanding drums (for simultaneous sanding and conditioning) with non-woven surface conditioning drums (for refinement and finish control), allowing operators to progress smoothly through multiple finishing stages without changing machines or tooling.

This kit includes the most effective grit progression for blending, refining, and finishing metal surfaces:

  • 240 Grit – Interleaf (Sandpaper + Non-Woven)
  • 320 Grit – Non-Woven
  • 320 Grit – Interleaf (Sandpaper + Non-Woven)
  • 400 Grit – Non-Woven
  • 600 Grit – Non-Woven

This combination gives you both cut + refinement and finish-only conditioning in one cohesive system.

The interleaf drums combine coated aluminum oxide sanding flaps with impregnated non-woven conditioning material in an alternating fan-style layout. This hybrid design allows you to Remove moderate rust, paint, oxidation, and coatings, Blend welds and parting lines, Smooth scratch patterns, Prep surfaces for finer finishing stages. The aluminum oxide flaps provide bite, while the non-woven sections refine the surface simultaneously—preventing over-cutting and protecting base material.

The non-woven drums are manufactured from premium nylon webbing infused with aluminum oxide grain, designed to clean, blend, and finish without aggressive stock removal. Their open, porous structure promotes airflow, resists loading and clogging, reduces heat buildup, prevents discoloration or distortion and extends abrasive life. These drums are ideal when finish quality and surface consistency matter more than removal rate.

A Complete Finishing Progression

This 5-piece set is designed to take you through a logical, shop-proven finishing sequence:

  1. 240 Interleaf – Initial blending, light cleanup, weld refinement
  2. 320 Interleaf – Further smoothing while maintaining surface control
  3. 320 Non-Woven – Transition from blending to finish conditioning
  4. 400 Non-Woven – Fine scratch refinement and satin finish development
  5. 600 Non-Woven – Final surface conditioning before buffing or polishing

The result is a uniform, predictable finish with fewer tool changes and less rework.

Safety Tips & Techniques:

  • Apply light pressure and let the tool do the work. Bearing down on the tool will result in reduced tool life.
  • Always wear proper PPE to include (but not limited to) safety glasses, hearing protection, respirator, and hand protection. Keep all guards in place on your machine.
  • Avoid use on electric power drills; the slower speeds can result in chipping of your workpiece.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Evelyn H. ★★★★★

I’ve been using these on my bench grinder to smooth out aluminum edges, and the interleaf design really helps prevent clogging. They last longer than the standard wheels I tried before. A solid upgrade for metal prep work.

Zoe ★★★★★

The non-woven layers on these flap wheels made cleaning up old paint and oxidation incredibly fast. They held up well against a steel surface without falling apart. Definitely a solid buy for the price.

Chloe ★★★★★

The interleaf layers cut through rust fast while the nonwoven side gives a smooth finish without leaving deep scratches, perfect for blending welds. I've used them on a few stainless pieces and they hold up way longer than the cheap discs I tried before.
