Industrial Steel Wire Brush are really cutting tools or cleaning tools

Industrial Steel Wire Brushes are really cutting tools or
cleaning tools. Each filament in itself is a cutting
tool or will be if it is worked on its tip. The
proper effect will be realized by using the tips of
these thousands of filaments at the proper speed
with the proper pressure to the work piece. It is
a false, though widely believed, theory that states
there must be a “scrubbing action” coupled with
a great deal of pressure or friction. An Steel Wire Brush  will perform its best when it is exactly the
right size and the right type for the job and is
operated at its highest safe speed with the lowest
possible pressure.
Supposing you have a very sharp edge on the
part to be finished a wheel brush may work
extremely well by removing the edge and creating
the desired radius without damaging or removing
the metal on either side of the edge. This will
only be accomplished by having the right
diameter of  wire brush , the proper wire size
depending upon the type of material which is to
be worked, the face width wide enough to give
you sufficient product, sufficient power and speed
with the Steel Wire Brush rotating near its maximum safe
limits and the Steel Wire Brush  wire tips applied only to the
edge that requires the metal removal. The Steel Wire Brush  should not be deflected or bent. Flexing of
the wires may cause them to bend and
sometimes vibrate and will result in wire fatigue
at the base, causing breakage.
Using a Steel Wire Brush  in excess of its maximum safe
speed will cause the brush to “self-destruct,”
potentially damage the material being worked on,
and most importantly, is dangerous to the
operator and those around him.
