Tom, this was the most succinct post on the subject of wire
brushing. Thanks a lot. I saved it. I have decided to swap my 1/2 HP,
1750 RPM motor for a 3/4 HP, 3450 RPM motor, I will do so tonight.

I'll try to find an electronic format of the application and speed pages in
an old Weiler catalog, great info! I did post an unclear statement about
sharpening a wire wheel with a stone. I could see how I shouldn't have
stated that. Done wrong, it will make things worse. The best way to
sharpen a brush is to turn it in the lathe against a tool post grinder.
Sometimes we grind a profile for very special applications. Good luck with
your new set-up, it sounds like it will do a great job!
