For over 65 years, Brush Research Manufacturing (BRM) has established itself as a trusted partner addressing complex surface finishing and deburring challenges through the innovation of brushing technologies. BRM was one of the first companies to advocate the critical need for finer surface finishes to optimize performance. Concepts such as plateau finishing were pioneered by our founder, Steve Rands, and are now commonplace goals across many industries. The FLEX-HONE® tools, a Brush Research invention, offers machinists and hobbyists the ideal combination of performance and value for professional finishing applications. Available in diameters from 4mm to 36" in a variety of abrasive and grit selections, the tool is an excellent choice for finishing and deburring any type or size of cylinder in a single set up. The FLEX-HONE® also produces an oil holding crosshatch pattern and a true plateau finish free of cut, torn and folded metal, which makes this a great choice for a variety of automotive components, hydraulics and pneumatics. This effective and easy-to-use tool is the perfect solution to many of your surface finishing challenges. BRM also manufactures a wide selection of industrial brushes to be used under power or by hand. Power brushes are used with standard or angle grinders, drill presses or CNC machines. They help streamline production by minimizing material buildup that can lead to defects, while also delivering fast and efficient deburring, polishing, and finishing results. Brush Research can offer a commercial-grade power brushes in a variety of styles including wheel, cup, end, mandrel mounted and spiral tube brushes. Alternatively, hand brushes don’t require any power or special setup. These tools are often designed with a plastic or ring handle for ease-of-use.
