Key Features of Bosch Professional Wire Cup Brushes

• Crimped wire: The wavy wire gives a flexible, controlled action. It suits lighter cleaning and finer finishes, and is a sensible choice where you want to clean a surface without being too aggressive.
• Knotted wire: Bunched, knotted wire is stiffer and more aggressive. It is the better pick for tougher deposits, as seen in the 0.35mm Knotted pencil brushes.
• Brass-coated wire: The 0.2mm brass-coated brush is suited to lighter cleaning where a finer finish is needed. It works on steel, non-ferrous metals and hardwood, and handles roughing and matt sanding work.
• Inox steel wire: Inox variants in 0.2mm, 0.3mm and 0.35mm let you work on stainless steel without leaving behind the contamination that standard steel wire can cause.
• Wire thickness options: Finer 0.2mm wire gives a gentler finish, while 0.3mm and 0.35mm wire offers more bite for heavier cleaning.
• Straight cylindrical shank: The shank is designed to fit standard three-jaw chucks, so the brushes can be swapped in and out quickly.
