The TIG Brush is a metal cleaner/polisher. It uses the action 
of an electric current along with a fluid to remove heat marks 
and other surface imperfections from metal surfaces. This 
model has been specifically designed to clean heat tint and 
contaminants caused by TIG welding stainless steel; and also 
remove surface impurities from aluminium and brass. 

Several cleaning solutions are available, each suited to 
different applications. Contact Ensitech for more information,
