2.5-Inch (65x6mm) Shaft Cup Brush
Brief Overview
This shaft-mounted cup brush delivers efficient surface preparation and rust removal for general metalworking applications. The 2.5-inch diameter twisted wire face is optimized for moderate-duty deburring and cleaning on flat or slightly curved surfaces. The straight 6mm shaft fits standard drill chucks and rotary tool adapters, making it a versatile addition to any workshop's brush selection. If you need alternative wire configurations, consider pairing this with larger twisted wire brushes or smaller shaft-mounted options to cover a full range of surface sizes.
Key Features
- Twisted Steel Wire Construction: Densely packed, knotted wire filaments provide aggressive cutting action for effective deburring and rust removal
- 2.5-Inch (65mm) Diameter Face: Balanced size for general metalworking—large enough for productivity, manageable enough for detailed work
- 6mm Straight Shaft: Direct fit for standard drill chucks and rotary tool adapters; no adapter sleeves required
- Bright Steel/Galvanized Finish: Corrosion-resistant shank and cup housing ensure durability in wet or humid shop environments
- Shallow Domed Center: Wire knots converge at the cup base, minimizing vibration and improving brush stability under load
Business Advantages for Resellers
- Proven Margin Product: Cup brushes maintain consistent demand across automotive, fabrication, and maintenance shops—reliable turnover with minimal shelf pressure
- Bulk-Order Friendly: Customers typically stock multiple sizes and wire types; position this alongside crimped and knotted variants to increase average order value
