Cleaning Discs / CBS Discs for Angle Grinders, Drills & Cordless Screwdrivers

Cleaning discs, also known as CBS discs, are essential tools for professional surface treatment. They are ideal for removing paint, rust, coatings, oxides and impurities – quickly, effectively and with a gentle action on the base material.

Unlike traditional abrasives such as flap discs or grinding discs, cleaning discs are designed to remove only the top layer without damaging the underlying metal. This means the base material remains stable, unscratched and in its original thickness – leaving the surface perfectly prepared for painting, coating or welding.

Cleaning Discs in Two Types – Black and Purple

• Black cleaning discs (soft): Flexible and gentle, ideal for sensitive surfaces. Perfect for removing paint or rust without leaving deep scratches.
• Purple cleaning discs (harder): Stronger and more durable, with higher material removal. Best for thick paint layers, heavy rust or stubborn coatings.

Typical Applications of CBS Cleaning Discs

• Paint removal – e.g. from containers, steel beams, machines or railings
• Rust removal – from steel, iron and metal surfaces
• Oxide removal – after welding or heat treatment
• Coating removal – from metal, wood or plastic
• Surface cleaning – before painting, welding or coating
• Maintenance & refurbishment – in shipbuilding, container repair, machinery or construction

Use with Angle Grinder, Drill & Cordless Screwdriver

• Angle grinder: The most common application – for fast, large-area cleaning of steel and metal.
• Drill: With a suitable arbor – ideal for smaller disc sizes.
• Cordless screwdriver: Perfect for mobile use or hard-to-reach areas.

Advantages Compared to Flap Discs

• Gentle on material: Removes paint and rust without damaging the metal.
• No material thinning: Base material stays unchanged.
• No scratches: Works gently compared to aggressive abrasives.
• Clean surface finish: Perfect preparation for painting or welding.
