Lessmann technical wire brushes have several technical features that increase the resistance and durability of the cleaning brush when grinding welds, removing burrs, and cleaning surfaces. Lessmann wire brushes for machining are produced in the form of wheel brushes, cup brushes, cylindrical brushes, brush rollers, conical brushes, pin tool brushes, end brushes, brush brushes. For manual surface treatment, Lessmann produces hand brushes with metal and plastic bristles. A large place in the program is devoted to brushes for removing dust, brushes for sweeping floors in production workshops.

Types of hardness
The work performed depends on the pile. The following wires are distinguished:
- Corrugated. This brush reduces machine vibration and applies gentle pressure to the surface. This happens due to the fact that the brush has springing properties;
- Twisted. The bristles curl and give a harsh action on the plane. The brush has great strength;
- Smooth. The brush quickly loses its shape and over time is unable to do its job.
All brushes differ in their cup diameter.
Types of iron brushes for metal: steel, brass
The wide range of functions performed by cord brushes makes them in demand among craftsmen of various qualifications. Therefore, manufacturers offer a wide range of brushes. Next, the main types of tools with metal bristles are reviewed and analyzed . For more detailed information about each type, it is recommended that you read other publications referenced in the article.
It is important to know that metal brushes include tools made from the following materials:
- steel: alloy, carbon, stainless, brass;
- alloys: brass.
In addition, it is worth remembering this important nuance. Often metal (or, more precisely, steel) brushes are called iron brushes. But this is not entirely true, since nothing is produced from pure iron. Alloys of iron and carbon are used to manufacture metal products. Depending on the amount of the second element, the result is either strong and brittle cast iron, or soft or ductile steel. In publications on our website, when we talk about iron brushes, we mean devices with steel bristles.
Reference. Brushes are included in the All-Russian Product Classification (OKPD) and are a separate group.
