Power-Driven Brushes
Wheel Brush
Are
circular in shape, no wider than 2”, standard brushes range from
1” to 16” in diameter. These may be filled with materials
such as carbon steel, stainless steel, brass, bronze and natural fibers
such as tampico. Also available in standard and custom made with
both abrasive and non-abrasive nylon and polypropylene. There
are two basic types of wire used in wheel brushes – crimped wire
for flexibility and straight wire (knot type) for more aggressive brushing.
Cup Brush

These are available in wire and nylon abrasive filaments and are generally used on portable hand tools.
Wide Face Brush
These are identified as brushes whose face is usually greater than their diameter. Custom manufactured to your specifications with wire and synthetic filaments for a specific application.
Tube Brush

Stem Mounted Brush
End, Wheel and Cup brushes, crimped wire and straight (knot type) permanently mounted to a ¼” steel shank. These are used in portable air and electric tools for light to heavy duty applications where space is limited.
Miniature Brush

versions of End, Cup and Wheel brushes used for brushing miniaturized
components. Sizes range from 3/16” to 1-1/2” and fill
materials may be animal hair or wire and are mounted on 3/32”
