Tork Craft Mini Carbon Steel Brush Cup 12.7mm 3.2mm Shank
At a Glance: 12.7mm carbon steel cup brush with 3.2mm shank for rust removal, paint removal, cleaning and surface preparation with a mini rotary tool.
The Tork Craft TC08359 Mini Carbon Steel Brush is a compact cup-shaped rotary brush designed for controlled cleaning, rust removal, paint removal and surface preparation in small areas. The 12.7mm cup profile is excellent for working on small flat surfaces, recessed areas, edges, corners, cavities and shaped metal parts where a wheel brush may not make full contact. Its carbon steel bristles provide a strong brushing action, making it ideal for removing corrosion, cleaning stubborn surface marks, stripping light paint, cleaning engraving, preparing metal parts and refining detailed workpieces. Used with a compatible mini rotary tool, this cup brush is a useful accessory for DIY, contractor, fabrication, woodworking, arts and craft, restoration and general workshop applications.
This mini carbon steel cup brush is designed for tougher cleaning work where a stronger brushing action is needed. The cup shape gives good face contact on small areas and recesses, while the 3.2mm shank allows secure fitting into compatible mini rotary tools for accurate rust, paint and surface cleaning tasks.
