Item # 30155, CeramiX® 6 Inch (in) Brush Diameter, 220 Grit, and 0.022 Inch (in) Filament Diameter Abrasive Nylon Wheel Brush

Tanis® abrasive nylon wheel brushes are made with CeramiX® filament molded into a urethane-based composite hub construction. The proprietary grain mineral in CeramiX® brushes is exclusive to Tanis® and was developed with 3M™. CeramiX® provides enhanced cutting action up to 3 to 5 times faster than traditional abrasive filaments. The mineral wears away in smaller pieces, consistently leaving more mineral in the filament to work on the part surface.

Additional Information
Abrasive nylon wheel brushes work best at speeds allowing fairly deep penetration of the work piece into the brush filaments. Faster speeds do not typically work as well as slower speeds, since the maximum RPM listed on the brush is not the optimum working speed. A good rule of thumb is to stay below 2,500 SFPM in dry applications and 3,500 SFPM with coolant. When operating multiple wheel brushes on a common shaft, multiply the HP requirements listed above times the number of brushes in use.

Penetration (Point of Contact)
The abrasive action occurs when the sides of the brush filament slides across the part surface or edge of the part. When the correct balance between speed (RPM), penetration, dwell time and abrasive grit size are achieved, then optimum life and cut can be obtained.

Recommended penetration rates for abrasive nylon wheel brushes are maximized up to 10% of trim length. This will allow long brush life with aggressive abrasive action.

Considerations when Selecting Filament for a Tanis® Abrasive Nylon Brush

Grit Size
120 grit is our recommended starting point for most applications. From there you can move either down or up in grit size, for a more aggressive cutting action or more of a polishing action. The chart on page 73 shows our abrasive nylon filament/grit size options.

Trim Length and Brush Density
A brush with a short trim length is rigid and used for high speed cutting. Longer trim lengths are more flexible and used for conforming to irregular surfaces. Likewise, a brush with a lower fill density has greater flexibility and ability to conform, as well as increased resiliency. High fill density brushes are used for deburring and when high speed cutting is required.


Troubleshooting - Abrasive Nylon Brushes
Brush too aggressive
  • Reduce filament diameter and/or grit size
  • Reduce surface speed by reducing RPM
  • Increase trim length and decrease fill density
  • Increase feed rate
  • Use a smaller diameter brush
Brush not aggressive enough
  • Increase filament density and/or grit size
  • Increase surface speed by increasing RPM
  • Decrease trim length
  • Reduce feed rate
  • Use a larger diameter brush
Brush not conforming enough to part
  • Increase trim length
  • Reduce filament density
  • Use a smaller diameter brush
  • Reduce surface speed by reducing RPM
  • Reduce feed rate
Final finish too rough
  • Increase surface speed by increasing RPM
  • Use a larger diameter brush
  • Use a finer abrasive filament
  • Use a coolant or cutting oil
  • Use a buffing compound
Final finish too smooth
  • Reduce surface speed by reducing RPM
  • Use a smaller diameter brush
  • Increase filament density and/or grit size
Filament smearing/melting
  • Reduce surface speed by reducing RPM
  • Decrease brush diameter
  • Use a coolant or lubricant
More action needed on edges parallel to brush axis
  • Reduce surface speed by reducing RPM
  • Reduce feed rate
  • Keep longer brush contact on problem area
More action needed on edges perpendicular to brush axis
  • Reduce surface speed by reducing RPM
  • Increase feed rate
  • Oscillate brush on problem area
Brush action not uniform enough
  • Increase trim length
  • Reduce filament density
  • Use automated equipment for brush motion
Short brush life
  • Increase filament density
  • Reduce pressure/depth of interference
