brushware operating techniques

► safety
► operating techniques
► testing on the job

Under working conditions, the centrifugal force built up by a revolving brush is quite high.  The wires or materials used in the brush become considerably stiffer at the working face, and then the cutting or abrasive action of the brush is greatly increased.  It follows that, as the speed increases, so the cutting action is faster.

► Pressure needed when applying work to brush

For cleaning, roughening and deburring at high speeds, use a light pressure.  For finishing, polishing and brushing at low speeds with wire, sufficient pressure may be needed to bring the sides of the wire in contact with the work.

► Brush wear

To achieve the longest life out of the brush, it is recommended that the rotation should be reversed from time to time (not all brushes able to be reversed - check with Josco if unsure).  When rotating in one direction only, the cutting edge of the wires become dulled, and by reversing the brush, better cutting action is noticed.

► Brushing recommendations

If you have any brushing problems, you may write to us for advice on the best brush for your application:

> the horsepower available.
> maximum speed of your equipment.
> arbor hole or shaft size of your equipment.
> the maximum diameter of the brush which can be mounted to your machine.
