Actually, I have the PERFECT solution! It' just not patented yet
and in prototype.
Wire brushes on a Roto-Tiller?




It's already been done! And, can you guess who did it?
Oh yea...that would be me. Mostly used to clean/prep metal roofs for
coating.

Nice. What kind of rpm can that handle? You don't make something
similar that would fit on a long arbor buffer do you?



Those brushes are rated at 3600rpm but will easily stay together at 1.5x
that. The best way is to stack single sections on a long arbor. We
swage multiple brushes on a tube for customers wanting a quick-change.
