Nylon abrasive brushes provide uniform finishing

Norton | Saint-Gobain has introduced Blaze nylon abrasive brushes, engineered with ceramic grains for integration into automated machinery, CNC machining centers, transfer lines, robotic cells, and portable power hand tools.

The brushes are suitable for internal and external part finishing for applications such as aerospace, automotive, and medical. They feature a self-sharpening ceramic alumina abrasive with extreme point endurance and microfracturing properties that provide up to a 30 percent faster cut, says the company.

As the grain is exposed, the cutting points are increased and cut equally when pressure is applied to the side or the tip of the filament. Even distribution of the grain throughout the filament helps ensure consistent cutting and finishing throughout the life of the brush, making the brushes suitable for automated applications.
