Mounted Bristle Wheels including Bristle, Hair, Nylon, Brass and Steel
Bristle wheels are used for:
Small mounted wire wheels in steel, stainless steel and brass polishing wheels are commonly used for texturing, cleaning and brushing any metal or plastic (rubber). wire wheels can be used for rust removal on metal and can create a lovely scratched texture.
Bristle wheels in stiff black bristle and white bristle are harder than nylon and hair wheels, they can be used with a compound or paste for cleaning, texturing and also polishing, depending on the compound use with it.
White nylon – are firm but slightly softer these can be used in a similar way to the bristle wheels with a compound or paste.
Hair polishing wheels are the softest and used for polishing to a mirror finish.
Bristle, Hair and Nylon wheels are used with compounds:
Polishing compounds can be used with these small mounted wheels, we recommend rouge for working on precious metals such as gold and silver.
Diamond compound can be used to polish on harder metals such as tool steel for tool steels.
they can also be used with lapping fluid or grease bar.
What tool do I use them with?
For Engineers and mould tool makers we would recommend a micro motor system Eneska or Urawa systems.
Jewellery makers, silver and gold smiths also commonly use these products (on a smaller 2.35mm spindle) they would mount these polishing wheels into a pendant motor and could also used a micro motor system.
