Brushing Pressure
1. Remember, the tips of a wire brush do
the work. Operate the brush with the
lightest pressure so only the tips of the
wire come in contact with the work.
2. If heavier pressures are used, the wires
will be overstressed, resulting in a wiping
action; and if this is continued, the life of
the brush will be shortened due to wire
fatigue.
3. Apply the brush to the work in such a way
t h a t a s m u c h o f t h e b r u s h f a c e a s
possible is in full contact with the work.
Applying the side or edge of the brush to
the work will result in wire breakage and
shortened brush life.

Sanding bands in fine, medium and coarse
grades are made to fit mandrel No. 402 and
EZ407. They can be used for nearly any
small sanding job you might have, from
model making to fine furniture finish ing. In
addition, there is the drum sander, a tiny
drum which fits into the Rotary Tool and
makes it possible to shape wood, smooth

replace the sanding bands on the drum as
they become worn and lose their grit. Bands
come in fine medium and coarse grades.
