Brush Research's Updated Website Features Video Demonstrations
Brush Research’s updated, interactive website feature a collection of videos that demonstrate the proper steps to using a Flex-Hone.

Pin Vise Toolholders for Miniature Brushes
Brush Research’s pin vises are designed to securely hold small-diameter, miniature deburring brushes when stem diameters are too small for chucking in automated machines.

Hone Offers Finishing Flexibility
Brush Research Manufacturing offers two examples that showcase how its Flex-Hone hole-finishing tool can help manufacturers meet exacting surface finish requirements both in the shop and in the field.

Abrasive Disc Brushes Feature Ceramic, Silicon Carbide Filaments
Brush Research Manufacturing’s Nampower abrasive disc brushes contain a combination of ceramic and silicon carbide filaments designed for faster burr removal rates and improved surface finish.

Total-System Approach to Deburring, Edge Blending, Surface Finishing
Brush Research Manufacturing’s 2011 catalog offers specialty Flex-Hone tools and an expansion of its high-performance Nampower line, which consists of abrasive disc brushes, hex drive brushes and composite hub wheels to provide a total-system approach to deburring, edge blending and surface finishing.

Honing Tool Features Soft Cutting Action
The Flex-Hone honing tool is designed to provide a quality surface finish for a variety of automotive, hydraulic, pneumatic and industrial applications in sizes ranging from 4 mm to 36".

Specialty Flex-Hones Blend Chamfered Through Holes
The new line of specialty Flex-Hones are designed to blend and radius sharp edges and remove micro burrs on chamfered holes to eliminate stress risers caused by the chamfering operation. 

Brush Hone Boosts Safety, Productivity, Finish Quality
This manufacturer recently employed the Flex-Hone ball-style honing brush from Brush Research Manufacturing to automate the finishing of die bores. In addition to providing quality and productivity improvements, the tool helped eliminate the potential for operator discomfort and injury.

Honing Tool Produces Fine Surface Finish
Said to feature a soft cutting action, the Flex-Hone honing tool is designed for various automotive, hydraulic, pneumatic and industrial applications in sizes ranging from 4 mm to 36".

Diamond Tool Features Self-Sharpening Edge
Brush Research Manufacturing’s diamond flex-hones are designed for deburring, edge blending and surface finishing in hard materials such as carbide, ceramic and aerospace steel alloys. The tools are engineered using resin-bond diamond crystals with high friability, a characteristic that makes edges self-sharpening.

Expanded Line Of Miniature Deburring Brushes
According to the company, miniature deburring brushes can automate the removal of burrs and the production of an edge radius on small-dameter holes, saving time and money while improving product quality and consistency. Filament choices include carbon steel, stainless steel, brass, nylon and natural to provide the optimum finish on a variety of base materials. The miniature deburring brushes are available in a diamond-abrasive-filled nylon filament.

Abrasive Tool For Cylinders
The Flex-Hone tool from Brush Research Manufacturing is a flexible honing tool that removes peaks and other imperfections in cylinder walls to create a specific surface finish. The tool’s construction allows the abrasive globules, or “stones,” to float, ensuring that the tool will be self-centering, self-aligning to the bore and self-compensating for wear. Applications include cross-hole deburring, surface finishing and edge blending.

Diamond Abrasive Nylon Brushes For Longer Tool LIfe

Lose The Peaks, Leave The Valleys
Plateau honing improves cylinder wall surface finish by gently removing tiny peaks of torn or folded material. Ball-style honing tools are commonly used to produce this desirable finish.
