Designed to utilize the material face rather than the edge, our standard Abrasives™ buff and blend HS flap brush helps achieve fine finishes without leaving lines on the workpiece. The high strength (HS) material makes it an ideal choice for blending, cleaning, deburring and finishing on stainless steel, brass and aluminum, especially where uniform and long line brushed finishes are desired. Quality materials well suited for deburring and finishing Irregular shaped parts. The buff and blend High Strength products are made from tough, resin reinforced nylon fiber with aluminum oxide abrasive grain. The durable high strength construction of the standard Abrasives™ buff and blend HS flap brush provides aggressive action for the toughest applications and provides greater tear-resistance, perfect for deburring or final finishing on irregularly shaped parts. Tough, non-woven buff and blend HS material allows removing surface contaminants without eliminating critical detail or gouging the workpiece. Choose from a broad offering of sizes, densities and grades to suit many different finishing operations. When a very fine high luster and decorative finish is desirable on pieces such as builders hardware, the HS Brush in MED grade provides the conformability you need. The buff and blend HS flap brush is an ideal choice for: A grain finish on brass strike plates for door hardware A satin finish on builders and hardware (cabinet handles, door knobs and more) satin finishes on soft metals highlighting and finishing aluminum extrusions (used as a quality control tool to identify defects) Inline brushed finishes on aluminum and stainless cookware (pots and pans) Producing fine scratch patterns on utensils and cutlery prior to cotton buff and compound polishing Removing oxide from precious metals. Flap brushes produce a consistent finish which does not reflect lines commonly attributed with ganged arbor hole discs. Density, pressure and angle determine the ability of the flap brush to remove burrs, oxidation and handling marks. The abrasive brush material provides ventilation which helps dissipate heat and, therefore, runs cooler. This provides consistent finishes without smearing or otherwise discoloring the work piece.
