Kleshuggerbørster

Kleshuggerbørster is a Danish term used in some industrial and manufacturing contexts to refer to a family of brushes designed for surface preparation, cleaning, and deburring. The exact meaning can vary by supplier, but the concept generally covers brush heads intended to be mounted on power tools or dedicated machines to remove residues, rust, paint, or burrs from metal, wood, or composite surfaces.

Construction and variants

Kleshuggerbørster typically consist of a central hub with bristles or wires arranged in cylindrical, cup, or wheel-shaped configurations. Bristle or wire materials commonly include steel or stainless steel for aggressive material removal, brass for softer metals, and synthetic fibers such as nylon for non-metal surfaces. Some versions incorporate abrasive grains or coatings to enhance cutting action. They are designed to be used with tools such as drills, die grinders, angle grinders, or bench machines and come in a range of sizes and stiffness levels to suit different applications.

Applications

These brushes are used for deburring and smoothing weld seams, removing rust or old coatings, cleaning joints and channels, and preparing surfaces for painting, primer, or bonding. They can be employed in metalworking, woodworking, shipbuilding, automotive, and general maintenance tasks. The choice of brush type and mounting depends on the material being processed and the desired surface finish.

Safety and maintenance

When using kleshuggerbørster, operators should follow tool manufacturer guidelines for speed and feed, inspect brushes for wear or damage, and wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection and gloves. Regular maintenance includes cleaning the brush body and replacing worn brushes to maintain performance.
