For aggressive deburring/surface finishing, the durable solution is a wheel brush by Brush Research Manufacturing that utilizes abrasive nylon filaments made of silicon carbide, and diamond grit can be used for the hardest metals and alloys.
The powered wheel brushes are used for surface finishing, cleaning, polishing, deburring, edge blending or removal of paint, rust or other contamination, and can be utilized with grinding equipment or CNC machinery, according to Brush Research literature.
Unlike wire filaments that can break off or deform when used with hard materials even if crimped, the construction of these composite hub radial wheel brushes provides a long-lasting wheel with less filament breakage and superior performance.
Such an abrasive nylon wheel brush can easily get into slots, push out and remove burrs. The abrasive-filled nylon filaments are set into molded cores, allowing higher filament densities and putting more cutting tips at the point of attack.
The extremely durable filaments are also self-sharpening, providing excellent performance and wear life. As the brushes contact the work surface, the filament grit wears off, exposing new cutting particles, so the brush continues to be sharp even after repeated use.
