If the selected brush does not achieve the expected result, the following table may provide solutions for the most common problems faced by a user. For further information, please contact our technical department. PROBLEM RECOMMENDED ACTIONS Brush is too aggressive Increase trim length Reduce wire diameter Reduce operating speed Brush is not aggressive enough Reduce trim length Increase wire diameter Increase operating speed Action of brush does not totally remove scale Reduce trim length Increase wire diameter Finish is too coarse Increase trim length Reduce wire diameter Increase operating speed Choose a nylon abrasive brush Finish is too smooth Reduce trim length Increase wire diameter Action of brush is not uniform Reduce brushing pressure Automate operations to avoid human inaccuracy Wire breaks more than usual Reduce brushing pressure Reduce wire diameter Reduce operating speed Life of the brush is too short Reduce wire diameter Increase brush diameter Reduce brushing pressure SAFETY & STORAGE Safety goggles or full face protection with side shields must be worn by all operators and others in the immediate area of power brush operations. • Keep all machine guards in place • Observe all speed restrictions indicated on brushes • Appropriate protective clothing and equipment must be used • Brushes should be carefully checked when removed from the original carton. Do not use if rusted or damaged • Store brushes in the original carton. Wire brushes should not be exposed to heat, high humidity, acids, fumes or liquids that can result in deterioration of the wire filaments, and subsequently, premature failure of the wires. Also, check for distortion of brush fill that can cause imbalance and excessive vibration when the brush is running • Check maximum spindle speed. Do not mount and operate the brush if spindle RPM exceeds the maximum safe free speed for which the brush is rated. Spindle length should be sufficient to permit a full nut mounting • Before starting the machine, rotate the wire brush with a gloved hand to determine that the brush has been correctly mounted and turns freely WIRE BRUSHES WIRE BRUSHES & CARBIDE BURRS
