Deburring, Edge Blending and Surface Finishing of Hard Materials

In Booth N-7163, Brush Research Manufacturing Co. Inc. (BRM; Los Angeles, CA) will show how Diamond Flex-Hone® Tools are designed primarily for deburring, edge blending and surface finishing in hard materials like carbide, ceramic and aerospace steel alloys. These engineered tools use resin bond diamond crystals that have high friability. A crystal with high friability creates self-sharpening edges that result in a free cutting tool that will provide a quick cut-rate and optimal finish. All of these diamond tools are made with premium nickel-coated abrasive that helps with heat dissipation and improves the bond retention. Sizes from 4 mm to 20 mm are standard in three different mesh sizes. Other sizes and mesh selections are available on special order.

Shops can always count on BRM to develop innovative surface finishing and deburring solutions for applications include carbide wear parts, guide and drill bushings, ceramic cylinders, heat treated steel, high nickel stainless steel, MMX aluminum alloys, chromed and plated bores, aerospace components, medical parts and ED recast layer.

Also on display will be the high performance abrasive nylon disc brush line, which has expanded to include a selection of small diameter tools. The new brushes are available in 50 mm, 60 mm and 80 mm diameters in both the Dot and Turbine style configuration. A new specialty flow-through tool holder with a 16 mm shank is also available to accommodate these smaller diameter tools. Nampower brushes are made of a combination of ceramic and silicon carbide abrasive nylon mounted to a thermoplastic base. These smaller diameter disc brushes will offer greater versatility into harder to reach areas, smaller applications and planetary head mountings and create reliable, consistent and cost effective results. Nampower Disc Brushes easily integrate into automated machinery, CNC machining centers, transfer lines and robotic cells. The best just got better.
