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 over-
stressed, resulting in a wiping action; and if this is con-
tinued, the life of the brush will be shortened due to wire
fatigue.
3. Apply the brush to the work in such a way that as much
of the brush face as 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.
