Axminster Trade ST-480 Wire Brush

This wire brush can be fitted to the ST-480 Drum Sander. Easily fitted in place of the standard abrasive sanding drum, it's 0.4mm steel wire bristles can produce an "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 colours. Can be used on metals as well 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.-bg
