|
|
Manufacturer: Osborn
Type of Product: Wood Cleaner
Availability: In-Stock
Shipping Time: 3-5 Business Days
Description:
Osborn Buffing Brushes are used with either an angle grinder or car buffer to clean and polish logs. The nylon bristles are heavily impregnated with abrasives, which aid in the removal of rough bruises, pitch, and wood pulp. The brushes also work well on fuzzy or rough logs caused by powerwashing. Use the 6" brush on a 7" to 9" angle grinder with a 5/8" arbor. Use the 4" brush on a 4" angle grinder with a 5/8" arbor. Take care not to burn your logs when using the four inch brush. Brushes will last much longer if a car buffer is used due to the slower rotational speed. If you are using a 6" brush on a 4" grinder, expect to see the bearings go out of the sander. Note: Though these brushes are rated up to 6000 RPM, we suggest an operating speed around 1800 RPM. The slower speed will greatly prolong the life of the brush and will also minimize the possibility of burning the logs. Not intended for heavy sanding.

Osborn brushes can be used after blasting or pressure washing. They are designed to be used with an angle grinder. Not recommended for removal of existing coatings.

When should I use an Osborn brush?

Maximum RPM 6000.. (try at +/- 1500 rpm). Maximum RPM is not the recommended operating speed. Usually the optimum RPM is less than half of the Maximum. Often, slower RPM can be more aggressive than faster speeds.
