Product Specification
4-1/2" X 4" PAINT & RUST STRIPPING SANDING DRUM - 1 PIECE
The Benchmark Abrasives 4-1/2" x 4" paint & rust stripping sanding drum is built for removing paint, rust, coatings, adhesives, fillers, and other surface buildup across larger work areas. Silicon carbide abrasive is distributed throughout an open nonwoven stripping structure, providing controlled stripping action while helping resist loading for restoration, fabrication, automotive, maintenance, and general surface-preparation work.
The drum works along the surface to create a directional scratch pattern, making it a practical choice for broad-panel stripping and straight-line surface preparation. Its full 4" working face covers larger areas efficiently. Work in controlled passes with light pressure, and avoid catching the drum on edges or corners.

Test on an inconspicuous area when preserving the underlying surface profile or appearance is important.
Machine Compatibility
Designed for portable surface finishing machines, linear grinders, burnishers, contouring grinders, and drum sanding machines. Compatible setups include the Eastwood® Contour SCT® (21145), HERCULES® HE68 (70979), and Metabo® SE 17-200 RT equipped with the appropriate keyed drum arbor.
Mounting requirements vary by model; an adapter or additional mounting hardware may be needed. Confirm proper arbor engagement, secure retention, and guard clearance. The machine must accommodate a 4-1/2" diameter × 4" wide drum without exceeding the drum’s 4,000 RPM maximum.
Safety Tips
- Never exceed the maximum rated speed of 4,000 RPM.
- Use dry only.
- Confirm the drum is securely mounted and retained before starting the machine.
- Verify the machine is approved for the drum's diameter and width.
- Keep all machine guards properly installed and positioned.
-
- Identify coatings before removal and follow appropriate precautions for hazardous materials.
- Apply light pressure and allow the abrasive to perform the stripping action.
- Excessive pressure can shorten abrasive life and increase the risk of surface damage.
- Do not use on electric power drills.
- Follow all machine and abrasive safety instructions.
