Lots! Wide-faces are custom made for the machines they fit...usually. They are
for cleaning steel, texturizing wood or plastic, etc. Sometimes they are ganged
up to 10' wide or more and use 50+ HP to run them. I make up to 4" wide that
fit a machine that preps metal roofing, cleans floors for epoxy coating and NASA
uses them to clean their weightless simulation tanks.

Where the HELL did you get that? That's a $200+ brush if it's brass plated
steel, if it's brass, it's a $4-500 brush. 10" x 24" x 3" ???

Now that I have a lathe... I am tempted to make a arbor for it and
connect to a motor...

It is a 12x18x3" brass plated steel brush.

How about the ones we use here in the "Frozen North" to clear snow and
slush from our airport runways. Made up of rings installed on a
mandrel with spacers between the rings, the assembled brush is around
25' long by 3' diameter (I haven't been real close to one for over 25
years) driven, along with a very large squirrel cage blower by a big
diesel engine and towed behind the snow plow. The brush wires are
somewhere around 0.030 x 0.250 x ~8" long. Is it any wonder we have to
repaint runway markings every year?

I think most of the brass-plated steel brushes are made from remnants of the
steel belted tire industry. I find they are too thin for most work, but
burnish pretty well.
