Popular Blue Spot Products

Blue Spot's rotary brush selection typically includes wire cup brushes for broad surface coverage on flat materials, perfect for removing scale and corrosion from steel plate or cleaning welds. End brushes provide access to recessed areas, internal holes, and tight corners where larger brushes cannot reach. Wire wheel brushes offer aggressive material removal for heavy-duty cleaning applications, whilst brass wire variants deliver gentler cleaning action suitable for softer metals like aluminium and copper where steel wire might cause scratching or embedding.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between steel and brass wire rotary brushes?

Steel wire brushes provide aggressive cleaning and material removal, ideal for ferrous metals, rust removal, and heavy-duty applications. Brass wire brushes offer softer, non-sparking performance suited to aluminium, copper, and other soft metals where steel wire might cause surface damage or contamination.

What speed should I run rotary brushes at?

Always check the maximum RPM rating marked on the brush or packaging. Generally, smaller end brushes can tolerate higher speeds (up to 15,000-25,000 RPM), whilst larger cup and wheel brushes require lower speeds (typically 4,500-10,000 RPM). Exceeding rated speeds risks wire breakage and creates safety hazards.

Do I need specific safety equipment when using rotary brushes?

Yes, always wear safety glasses or a face shield, as wire fragments can dislodge during use. Heavy-duty gloves protect against wire contact, and long sleeves prevent skin abrasion. Ensure loose wires are removed before first use, and never use damaged or deformed brushes.
