Dico 7100098 Stainless Steel Cutting Compound Gray

Product Description

The DICO 7100098 is a gray stainless steel cutting compound formulated for use on stainless steel and steel surfaces. Cutting compounds in this category are used to remove surface oxidation, weld discoloration, scratches, and mill scale, leaving a refined finish ready for polishing. This compound is applied by hand or with a buffing wheel and is a standard consumable in metal finishing workflows. It is used by fabricators, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and maintenance professionals working with stainless steel components and assemblies. The gray color designation indicates a medium-cut abrasive formulation suited for initial cutting stages before finer finishing steps.

This compound is appropriate for use in both residential and light commercial applications wherever stainless steel or steel surfaces require cutting, blending, or preparation before a final polish. Typical install and service scenarios include post-weld cleanup on stainless pipe, surface prep on sheet metal fabrications, and restoration of stainless equipment panels. The package quantity is one unit, making it suitable for single-job procurement or restocking individual technician kits.
