Wheel Brushes: The outer circumference or "face" of this circular stylebrush performs the work. Wheel brushes are ideal for removal ofmaterial, flash, rust, paint, cleaning weld bead, deburring, deflashing,edge blending, skiving and buffing. Fill materials include both crimpedand straight wires of steel and stainless steel, brass and other nonferrousmetals; treated and untreated natural fibers; and syntheticssuch as nylon, plastic, and nylon/abrasive filaments for dry and wetabrasive action. Brush diameters range from 5/8" to 22".

Cup Brushes: Are made in three types: knotted wire in steel and stainlesssteel for heavy duty, crimped wire for lighter surface preparation anddeburring service and abrasive nylon filaments for finishing work. Cupbrushes are easily mounted on CNC machines and portable tools, air-orelectric-powered. Standard brush diameters range from less than one inchup to nine inches, with wire diameters from .006" to .035".

End Brushes: Are designed to have the ends of the fill strands do thebulk of the work, although the sides can also be used to finish verticalsurfaces that parallel the shaft. They are especially suitable for CNCmachines, portable air and electric tools in tight spaces. End brushesare made in knot, crimped, and straight wire of carbon steel, stainlesssteel, brass, Nylon/Abrasive filaments and other non-metallics. Endbrush diameters range from 3/16" to 3".

Internal Finishing Brushes: Also known as a "side action" or twisted wirebrush, this style is primarily used in CNC machines, portable tools and drillpresses for cross hole deburring and fast cleaning and finishing of suchinaccessible surfaces as small diameter bores and internally threadedsurfaces. Internal finishing brushes are made in steel, stainless steel, brass,nylon and Nylon/Abrasive filaments. A number of special purpose powerand manual styles are included in the internal finishing category: tube, tube& flue and power tube brushes. Sizes range from .030" up to 10".

Brushing Speed and Pressure: In most operations, a lower speed than theMaximum Safe Free Speeds (MSFS) will prove more efficient for you.Lower speeds and lighter pressure gives longer brush life, generates lessheat in the work, and requires less power. With wire brushes, the tips of thefilaments do the actual work. With Nylon/Abrasive brushes, the tips andsides of the filaments do the work. Where high brush pressures and speedsare required, it is recommended that a more aggressive brush be used.This may be done by increasing wire size and/or abrasive grit size,decreasing trim length, or in some instances, changing to another brushtype. To protect against hazard, before starting the brush, during rotation,and until rotation stops, operators and others in the area must wearSAFETY GOGGLES or FULL FACE SHIELDS WORN OVER SAFETY GLASSESWITH SIDE SHIELDS ANSI Z87.1 "Occupational Eye and Face Protection".
