Tex / scotch satinising & finishing brushes & combination finishing brushes (abrasive cloth and scotch-brite fleece interleaved). 19mm keyway fit easily onto the Finimaster & many other burnisher / drum sander machines.
Use the Tex / scotch-brite brushes (FMTA) where you need a clean, bright soft satin finish.
Not quite the right product? Take a look at our full range of keyway brushes and wheels here.
We supply keyway wheels and brushes in a range of grit types:
Abrasive Cloth (FMLA) – will clean, grain and apply a textured surface finish on stainless steel and non-ferrous metals
Tex / Scotch-brite (FMTA) – remove light damage and scratches to leave a fine satin finish. Ideal for cleaning a re-graining aluminium
Interleaved / Combi (FMCA) – again, removes surface damage and will blend a 240 grit finish. More durable on edges than the Tex brushes.
n.b. The ‘Ginger Ninja’ Combination brush uses high performance ceramic abrasives and therefore has the capacity to do much more work to the metal.
Rubber (FMRU) – an abrasive grain bonded into the flexible rubber allows an even grain finish to be applied to your workpiece
Because the Ginger Ninja lasts a very long time, has the ability to cut quickly and leaves a great finish.
Like all good products the Cibo Ginger Ninja keyway polishing brush was first developed to solve a customer problem.
We had a particular customer who needed to remove scale and leave a grain finish on 8mm stainless steel plate in a food factory. The wheel did such a good job that we thought everybody else should be able to use it. The ‘Ginger Ninja’ is now one of our best selling products.
It is made from a high performance ceramic cloth, which is why it can put a grain finish on the scale, combined with a strong fleece which blends the heavier cut to a clear satin finish.
Press on hard and the the wheel cuts. Back off and allow the fleece to blend the surface to leave a consistent burr free finish.
p.s. It is not really called the Ginger Ninja. But we like the name so much that we never call it the FMCAC/60/100100. Why would we??
Lots of our customers use the FMTA grade 80 wheel for removing light scratches & finishing with a soft satin finish on aluminium panels.
Advantages: Because of the open Tex structure the wheel can run at a nice low speed so it avoids the risk of creating an ‘orange peel’ effect on the surface of the aluminium and the aluminium will not clog the wheel.
In our experience every product has it’s place.
If you are working with lots of edges then the FMCA combination brushes will almost certainly be the better option as it will be protected from rapid breakdown by the interleaved abrasive cloth.
If you are working largely on flat surfaces then in our experience the FMTA tex / ‘scotchbrite’ brushes leave a cleaner and brighter finish.
In either case the grit size is inter-changeable.
