Weiler Corp. provides specialty brush deburring toolsw that feature advanced ceramic-grain filament technology. Originally introduced in 2008, the Burr-Rx product line was recently expanded to include power tube brushes, small-diameter wheels, Bore-Rx internal deburring tools, mini-disc brushes, and banded end brushes in addition to large-diameter wheel brushes and shell-mill-holder disc brushes.

The black nylon filaments of Weiler's Burr-Rx brushes are co-extruded with an engineered ceramic abrasive grain, providing cut rates up to 400 percent faster than silicon carbide or aluminum oxide filaments, the company reports. The extreme performance of Burr-Rx brushes reduce cycle times by allowing the use of high feed rates and short dwell times, resulting in increased throughput and lower deburring costs. In addition, Burr-Rx brushes can remove burrs that are reportedly impossible to remove with conventional nylon abrasive filament brushes.

Ceramic grain Burr-Rx brushes are especially well-suited for deburring tough materials such as Inconel, stainless steel, and titanium, but with an assortment of filament configurations and product fill densities, there is a high performance tool available for use on practically any material.
