Tom runs a brush manufacturing business, and produces some excellent quality products, well endorsed by readers here on RCM. It might help to better describe your rust conditions----particularly when you talk about gages, calipers and a sign bar. Generally rust does these items harm, rendering them to scrap. After all, what good is a gage if it isn't the proper size? Harold |

" There are new folks on this group, asshole. Treat them like you would treat your own friends, not some off the wall dickhead advice. Aftershock God, I hope you never ask my friends how I treat THEM! ....and just WHAT was wrong with my advice? Everybody knows that wire brushes get dull quickly and must be resharpened by a pro or use new ones frequently. (Aftershock, you think I'm kidding, don't you?) So, before you call somebody an "asshole", know what you're talking about. I'm one of the best in the whole frigging WORLD at what I do...what can you say about YOURSELF??? oh, by the way....bite me! |

I reverse the reversible ones and have occasionally run a hand stone lightly against one before reversing, but I'm guessing there's more to it than that. John Martin |

Everyone knows that 6 strokes from a diamond micro-file on each side of each wire of the brush is the best way to sharpen them.

Reversing a wheel is the first step to the trash but then the brush was
misused anyway. As soon as the wire starts to lay down, it is no longer a cutting tool but now a burnishing tool. So, the operator just naturally applies more pressure. A slippery slope to the trash. Try and find the right mix of speed, wire dia., wire length and wire alloy. There's the rub, that's a lot of variables so you compromise with a sacrificial general purpose brush. That's ok. In another world, a process needs to get "X" number of parts done with a brush before shut down and brush change. That's where fine tuning the brush variables pays off. All wire brushes, power and hand, the sharp corners on the ends of the wire do the work. As the work is done the edges become rounded and the cutting action changes. Thus if the wire ends are ground square again before the slippery slope, the brush will do more, consistent work with less energy. So, sharpen your brushes or buy a lot of new ones! Sound advise, but some people think I'm being smart-assed. Just don't tell anybody! "John Martin" wrote in message oups.com...

Any particular reason you decided on that one? |

It might seem a bit strange for the newbie to get one of his humorous replies, but I can't imagine that it would take much time until the newbie figured out he's just having some fun. Did anyone on the group watch SOAP when it was on the air? It was, without a doubt, one of the funniest sitcoms to hit the air--------but if you didn't watch it long enough to figure out what it was up to, it was stupid and offensive. Sometimes you have to give things a little time before making a decision. Harold |
