Wire-end brush Szczotpol model N161, 6 mm shank, 100 mm diameter

Szczotpol wire-end brush model N161 is a circular end brush with a 6 mm shank and 100 mm diameter designed for surface preparation and cleaning of metal and other hard materials. The brush is intended to be mounted in power tools or machines that accept a 6 mm arbor and provides a combination of flexibility and aggressiveness suitable for removing rust, paint, scale and burrs while reaching into contours and tight spots. The construction balances abrasion performance with controlled material removal for preparatory and finishing operations in metalworking and maintenance.

Advantages

The wire-end design concentrates abrasive action at the tip of each filament, improving access to grooves and irregular surfaces while limiting damage to the base material. A 6 mm shank ensures compatibility with a wide range of handheld and bench-mounted tools. The 100 mm diameter gives a practical working area for medium-scale tasks, offering consistent contact and stable operation at recommended speeds. Materials and assembly are selected to provide reliable wear characteristics during typical surface-cleaning cycles.

Suitable for

• Removing rust and scale from metal surfaces
• Stripping paint and coatings before repainting
• Deburring edges and seams after cutting or welding
• Cleaning welds, joints and recessed areas
• Surface preparation prior to adhesion or finishing

Key specifications

• Brush type: wire-end circular end brush
• Shank diameter: 6 mm
• Brush diameter: 100 mm
• Suitable substrates: steel, iron and other hard materials
• Typical applications: rust removal, paint stripping, deburring, weld cleaning

How to use

Secure the brush in a compatible tool with a 6 mm arbor and ensure the tool is switched off while mounting. Operate the tool at the manufacturer-recommended speeds for wire-end brushes and apply moderate pressure; allow the brush filaments to do the work rather than forcing heavy contact. Move the brush steadily across the work surface, keeping a consistent angle to avoid gouging. After use, inspect the brush for wear or damaged filaments and replace if performance deteriorates.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment including eye protection, gloves and appropriate respiratory protection when removing rust and coatings. Avoid using the brush on soft or thin materials where excessive removal could damage the base. Do not exceed the tool’s maximum speed rating and follow the tool and brush manufacturer's safety instructions.
