Here is a Scotch brite wheel attachment I made for brushing SS and aluminum. I have used it a few times on large signs and it works great. The wheel is a floor "cut and polish" type in a "7A" grit, I would say it is a medium scotch brite or maybe a 600-800 grit. I moved the location of the drill motor to over the attachment to balance the load and use the cut oxy signal to start in using mach3

Re: Aluminum and SS brushing attachment
WSS,
Do you think this roll you are using would work as well on mild steel. I would like to do the same finish with straight lines running the length of the oart.
Thanks
Gary

Re: Aluminum and SS brushing attachment
I was contacted by 3M sales today about my inquire for price and location of a wheel like shown in the start of this post.
OMG no way I could afford one like that, custom made more then the cost of a table and plasma.
However a 2" wide 8" diameter wheel to use on a bench grinder is less them $100.
