Staple Brushes 101
What is a Staple Set Brush?
Staple set brushes are highly customized brushes, manufactured to the specific needs of the application and the equipment.
A staple set brush begins with a plastic or wood block of varying size and shape. From there, holes are predrilled or bored into the block, ready to receive filament. The machine slightly over fills the hole with filament to create the right density and tension while stapling the filament into the block to secure it, creating the final brush.
Pictured here is an abrasive staple wheel brush constructed with a wood base and silicon carbide filament to deburr parts after manufacturing, removing any sharp corners and burrs from the parts.
