How to Choose Wire Brush?Wire brush is generally used for deburring and rust removal. There are lot of different wire brushes in the world. We will give you few tips for you to choose right wire brush.
By Power toolsYou must choose the right wire brush according to what power tools you are using
Angle grinderWhen you have angle grinder, you need following cup wire brush with the 22.23mm or 5/8-11 inch thread. The wire brush can be flat wheel or cup wheels.
Bench wheelWhen we need powerful machine to polishing, normally we use the stationary bench grinder. They have normally a round hole in the middle.
Electric drillWhen we use hand held or stationary electric drill, we need the wire brush with shank, either round shank or hexagon shank.
So there are also hand hold wood brush and plastic brush, but not not so many.
Choose right wire typeIn general we have 2 types of wire for all wire wheels. One is twisted knot wire and another one is crimped wire. Please check the following picture
Crimped wireIt is general for getting rid of small burs or remove small layer of dusts. Sometime when we need make fine polish we also need crimped wire.
Twist knot wireIt delivers very aggressive brushing. When we need to remove big stock on the metal, or very thick rust on the surface, definitely we need choose twist knot wire.
Chose wire by MaterialImgMaterialSteel wireIt is a strong wire, good for remove big stock rust, paint and grass on the pavement. The cost of the steel wire is good, but it can scratch the metal surface when it is hard. Also it might have chance that the working piece get rust again after steel wire grinding. So you need some Anti rust treatment after using steel wire.
Stainless steel wireIt is very good wire. Very good for remove big stock rust, paint and also weeds on the payment. The working piece will not getting rust after grinding. It is also not recommend if you are sensitive to the surface of your working piece as it is also easy get scratched on the surface
Brass wireIt is very soft material compare to other wire. It will never scratch the surface on the working pieces. So we suggest to use brass wire when the working piece is very hard and also need smooth surface. Also the working piece will not get rust again after brass wire grinding.
Brass coated wireIt is cheap version to replace the brass wire. It not so bad in the performance of rust removing. It still can cause the rust after grinding, but little better than the steel wire.
