This optional steel wire brush head uses long bristles of flexible wire to produce a textured finish.
They are easy to fit in place of the standard abrasive sanding drum.
With a wire diameter of 0.4mm, the bristles can produce a “distressed” finish on new softwood.
Can also be used to produce a grained effect. Also very effective at cleaning old boards, removing dirt etc, without changing the aged colour.
Can be used on metals to produce: decorative effects, for oxidation removal, scuff sanding and primer sanding.
It may not be a good idea to use the same wire brush on wood and metal, you will find that the bristles will become tainted by the metal which will transfer onto the wood.
Caution, overloading with excessive pressure will destroy the brush, gentle and slow is the best method.
