Select the Right Brush Wheel

1. SELECT THE RIGHT BRUSH WHEEL

2. Wheel Brush Wheel brushes are wheel-shaped tools used for surface preparation and surface finishing. Their uses include parts, cleaning, polishing, edge blending, and deburring. It is a powder brush designed to be used under power, as an angle, bench, or pedestal grinder.

3. HOW TO SELECT THE RIGHT BRUSH WHEEL? Wire brushes are the perfect choice for removing rust, oxidations, weld slag, paint, weld spatter, and other unwanted surface contaminants without damaging any base material. • The Wire Type. • The Wire Diameter. • The Filament Configuration. • The Trim Length.

4. WIRE TYPE The Wire brushes generally have straight wires, which results in a lack of the required degree of stiffness, and can quickly become bent in ways which reduced their effectiveness. So, it is essential to select a suitable wire type. • Crimped Brushes: Crimped brushes have zigzag pattern wires that bend along their length. It ensures that the wires remain adequately spaced out from each other to enable workers to get rid of the utmost amount of slag with minimum effort. • Twisted Wire: Knotted or twisted wire brushes tend to possess a way stiffer action than crimped brushes. It provides them with a hefty action.

5. WIRE DIAMETER The diameter of the wires decides how quickly and aggressively it removes weld slag. The thicker the wires, the faster it'll remove the slag. Yet fabricators must consider quite just speed. Because a wire brush wheel may be a machine, it is often easy to use more friction than necessary to eliminate the slag. • In other words, welders must take care not to damage or irritate the bottom metal. It may ultimately increase the time interval by requiring that the abrasions be carefully smoothed out.

6. THE FILAMENT CONFIGURATION Crimped Wire Brushes - Individual filaments are supported only by one another, creating extra flexibility. Ideal for work on irregular surfaces, more refined surface finishing, and light- to medium-duty contaminant removal. Standard Twist Knot Wire Brushes - Made with straight wire filaments twisted together to form more rigid rope- or cable-like pieces—the selection for more aggressive applications requires higher-impact action and a rougher surface finish. Stringer Bead Twist Knot Wire Brushes - Filaments are more tightly twisted to the top of the knot than plain twist knot brushes, creating a narrower face and highest-impact action. The selection for tough weld scale cleaning removes the bead scale at the initial joining.

7. THE TRIM LENGTH Trim length equals the quantity of usable filament on your wire brush. To settle on the proper trim length, these best practices will be available in handy. Irregular surface - choose longer trim lengths for more flexibility. • Server applications - choose shorter, more rigid trim lengths for faster action
