Los Angeles, CA (USA) (PRWEB) February 18, 2015 -- Brush Research Manufacturing (BRM), American-owned supplier of Flex-Hone® tools and industrial brushes, is announcing an article about NamPower small-diameter abrasive disc brushes for harder-to-reach areas, smaller applications, and planetary head mountings. To see these mini disc brushes, visit BRM at HOUSTEX from February 24 to 26 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas.

BRM’s NamPower technology is a family of high-performance brushing tools for outer diameter (OD) surface finishing. Manufacturers and machine shops use NamPower nylon abrasive disc brushes to automate operations such as surface preparation, deburring, rust removal, edge radiusing, polishing, and spot finishing.

Brush Sizes, Styles, and Filament Options

As BRM's new article explains, NamPower mini disc brushes come in 50-mm, 60-mm, and 80-mm diameters in both dot and turbine styles. Dot style brush tools are designed for light-duty deburring and edge blending. Turbine style abrasive disc brushes are recommended for medium-duty and heavy-duty burr removal. Both styles of NamPower brushes support short cycle times and long brush tool life.

NamPower miniature nylon abrasive disc brushes come with a unique combination of white ceramic and silicon carbide abrasive for producing maximum burr removal rates and an optimum surface finish at the same time. Available grit sizes are 80, 120, 180, and 320. Custom NamPower mini disc brushes feature a combination of blue ceramic and silicon carbide, or blue ceramic only.

Thermoplastic Base and Flow-Through Tool Holder

As BRM's article also explains, NamPower small-diameter nylon abrasive disc brushes are built with a molded thermoplastic base that provides greater stability and rigidity with reduced vibration. These well- balanced brushing tools are designed for use with CNC equipment and other automated machinery, and enhance brush performance while extending brush tool life.

Small-diameter NamPower nylon abrasive brushes also feature a flow-through tool holder with a 16-mm shank. As with the tool holders for larger-diameter NamPower disc brushes, coolant flows through from the brush center, resulting in better lubricant dispersion. All NamPower flow-through tool holders are heat-treated, precision-ground, and PVD coated.    

Visit BRM at HOUSTEX 2015 (Booth 242)

From February 24 to 26, BRM’s technical team will be at HOUSTEX 2015 to answer questions about NamPower technology, Flex-Hone® tools, and the American-owned manufacturer’s full line of industrial brushes. Manufacturers, metalworkers, machine shops, and industrial distributors are invited to visit BRM in Booth 242 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas.
