Features
A cleaner hierarchy replaces the current long text wall while preserving the technical intent of the live page.
Uniform Surface Finish
Designed for controlled polishing and deburring on flat surfaces and broad geometries.
CNC & Robotic Ready
Sleeve and shank mounting support automated deburring in CNC machines, machining centers and robotic systems.
Ceramic Cutting Edges
Ceramic fibers continuously expose cutting edges for controlled material removal rather than wire-brush smearing.
Adjustable Projection
Projection can be tuned as the brush wears to balance flexibility, cutting pressure and surface finish.
Cross-hole Capability
With the appropriate shank, centrifugal expansion can also remove fine burrs inside cylindrical intersections.
Wide Grit Range
Available from coarse deburring grits to ultra-fine polishing grades for different materials and finish requirements.

Mounting Options
Mount the surface brush in a standard collet/chuck using either the corresponding sleeve or the direct shank connection.
With Sleeve
Recommended when higher stability and consistent contact pressure are required. The sleeve reinforces the brush base during high-speed CNC or robotic operation.
Without Sleeve / Direct Shank
Use the appropriate shank size specified by ØDS. Verify the matching clamping screw and LN key before operation.
Surface Brush Sleeves & Spare Parts
Surface Brush Sleeves & Spare Parts
Sleeves reinforce the brush base and provide stable mounting for CNC and automated applications.

Grit Selection by Burr Condition & Material
Choose coarse grits for heavier burrs and progressively finer grits for controlled edge finishing and polishing.
Brush Selection Guide
How to Use the UFIBER® Surface Brush
Five practical rules for stable cutting action, controlled wear and cross-hole use.
Feed direction
For side-burr removal, use an up-cut approach so the ceramic fibers work against the burr from underneath rather than laying it over.
Adjust brush projection as it wears
Longer fibers are more flexible and gentler. As the fibers become shorter, they become more rigid, so reduce aggressiveness or adjust the brush projection and machining conditions to maintain a controlled finish.
Step differences & uneven surfaces
If a step causes excessive brush bending, lower the brush vertically without rotation first. Reduce the depth of cut and increase the feed as needed to avoid excessive local loading.
Precision slit burr removal
Process in both directions where necessary. If burrs are displaced into a slit, reverse the processing direction so the ceramic fibers face the burr directly and remove it, rather than pushing it farther into the slit.
Cross-hole capability
The Surface Brush can also expand inside a cylindrical bore by centrifugal force and remove fine cross-hole burrs. Start with #1200 for greater flexibility; if burrs remain, try #1000 for stronger cutting action.
UFIBER® Surface Brush — Machining Recommendations
Starting parameters for CNC deburring and polishing • Metric and imperial units • Use the lower value first and optimize on the actual component.

How to Calculate Spindle Speed
Calculate spindle RPM from cutting speed and brush diameter, then confirm the result does not exceed the brush-specific RPM limit.

Safety Precautions & Operating Instructions
Always follow the recommended operating conditions and machine-safety procedures when using UFIBER® Surface Brushes.
Important!
Never exceed the recommended maximum rotational speed specified for the selected brush.
Excessive speed may cause brush damage, bristle breakage, workpiece damage or personal injury.
Rotational Speed
Operate the brush only within its specified speed range. Ensure the machine provides stable and controlled spindle speed.
Correct Mounting
Use a chuck or holder that correctly matches the shank diameter. Securely clamp the tool before starting the spindle.
Shank Clamping
Ensure sufficient shank engagement in the holder. Avoid excessive overhang, which can increase vibration and instability.
Eye & Face Protection
Always wear approved safety goggles or a face shield to protect against broken fibers, burrs and machining particles.
Dust & Particle Control
Use suitable extraction or dust-collection equipment where required. Do not breathe machining dust or airborne debris.
Inspect Before Use
Check the brush, holder and shank for damage, abnormal wear or loose components before machining.
Stop operation immediately if abnormal vibration, noise or tool movement occurs.
Do not continue machining until the brush, holder, spindle and setup have been inspected and the cause has been corrected.
Safety requirements may vary according to the machine, workpiece material, brush size, operating speed and local workplace regulations. Always follow the machine manufacturer’s instructions and applicable safety standards.

General Safety
Use the product only for its intended deburring, edge-finishing and polishing applications. Improper use may cause tool damage, workpiece damage or serious personal injury.
Personal Protective Equipment
- Always wear approved safety glasses or goggles.
- Use a face shield where there is a risk of flying particles.
- Use suitable hearing protection when required by the machining environment.
- Wear suitable work clothing and secure loose clothing, hair and accessories.
- Use gloves only when appropriate and never place hands near a rotating tool.
Machine & Tool Setup
- Confirm the selected brush is suitable for the machine, material and intended operation.
- Use a holder or chuck that correctly matches the tool shank.
- Minimize tool overhang and ensure secure clamping.
- Verify spindle rotation and speed before contacting the workpiece.
- Never exceed the specified maximum rotational speed.
During Machining
- Keep hands, clothing and other objects away from the rotating brush.
- Do not touch the machined area immediately after processing, as the workpiece may be hot.
- Avoid excessive depth of cut or brush pressure.
- Monitor vibration, sound and brush condition during operation.
- Stop immediately if abnormal vibration or unusual tool behavior occurs.
Work Area Safety
Restrict access to the operating area and ensure nearby personnel use appropriate protective equipment. Keep the floor and surrounding work area free from chips, oil, water and other slipping hazards.
Dust, Burrs & Cutting Particles
Deburring and polishing may generate small fragments, burrs and airborne particles. Use suitable guarding, extraction or dust-collection equipment to control these materials and prevent exposure.
Fire Safety
Some machining operations may generate heat or sparks. Do not operate near flammable materials or in explosive atmospheres unless the complete machining system is approved for those conditions.
