Forney Brush - Winter 2012

The correct answer is Right Angle Grinder, Bench Grinder, Electric Drill, Air Powered Hand Held Die Grinder. These are the four tools commonly used with power brushes. A right angle grinder is used for heavy-duty grinding and cutting tasks. A bench grinder is used for sharpening tools and shaping metal. An electric drill is used for drilling holes and driving screws. An air-powered hand-held die grinder is used for precision grinding and polishing.

The correct answer is "Twist knot wire" because a stringer bead is a type of weld bead that is made by moving the welding torch or electrode in a straight line. It is commonly used in welding to create a strong and consistent weld joint. Cable crimp and crimp are not related to welding or stringer beads.

The correct answer is Cup, Wheel and End. In both the Red Cap and Industrial Pro programs, three styles of brushes are used: Cup, Wheel, and End. These brushes serve different purposes and are designed to be used in various applications. The Cup brush is typically used for light to medium-duty cleaning, while the Wheel brush is used for heavy-duty cleaning and surface preparation. The End brush, on the other hand, is used for reaching tight spaces and corners. These three styles of brushes provide versatility and effectiveness in different cleaning tasks.

Cup brushes can be mounted using either a threaded arbor or a ¼” shank. A threaded arbor is a type of mounting that involves screwing the brush onto a threaded spindle or arbor. On the other hand, a ¼” shank is a type of mounting that involves inserting the brush into a collet or chuck with a ¼” shank size. These two types of mountings provide secure and stable attachments for cup brushes, allowing them to be used effectively in various applications.

The correct answer is ¼” shank. This means that the end brushes in both programs are mounted using a ¼” shank. The other options, such as the 5/8” arbor hole and 5/8”-11 threaded arbor, are not applicable in this case. Additionally, it is stated that no mounting is required for these brushes, indicating that they are used by hand.

The correct answer is "Straight and Shoe." This answer refers to the two styles of wooden handles commonly found on a scratch brush. The "Straight" style refers to a handle that is straight and does not have any curves or bends. The "Shoe" style refers to a handle that is shaped like a shoe, with a curved end that provides a comfortable grip. These two styles are commonly used in scratch brushes for different purposes and preferences.

Carbon steel contains iron, which can react with oxygen and moisture in the air to form rust. When carbon steel is used to clean stainless steel, it can leave behind small particles or residue that can rust and corrode the stainless steel surface over time. Therefore, carbon steel should not be used to clean stainless steel to prevent the formation of rust.

In electrical hazard environments where a spark could cause a fire, it is recommended to use brushes made of brass. Brass is a non-sparking material that does not produce sparks when it comes in contact with other metals. This makes it a safe choice for use in situations where there is a risk of fire due to sparks. Carbon, stainless steel, and other materials may produce sparks, increasing the risk of fire in such environments. Therefore, brass is the most suitable type of brush to use in this scenario.

Twist Knot Cup, Twist Knot Wheel, and Stringer Bead are the best brushes for removing weld slag. These brushes are specifically designed to effectively remove tough slag from welds. The twist knot design ensures durability and aggressiveness, allowing them to easily break through and remove the slag. The Stringer Bead brush, on the other hand, is designed for precise cleaning of narrow welds. Together, these brushes provide the necessary tools to effectively remove weld slag.

The Industrial Pro and Red Cap brushes are manufactured in Spain and China.

The correct answer is Cup, Wheel and End. These three brushes are categorized as "Power Brushes." "Cup" brushes have a cup-shaped design and are commonly used for surface preparation, cleaning, and deburring. "Wheel" brushes have a wheel-shaped design and are often used for blending, finishing, and polishing tasks. "End" brushes have bristles on the end and are typically used for reaching tight spaces and corners. Together, these three brushes offer a range of capabilities for various power brushing applications.

The correct answer is "All of the above." This means that all three types of wire - crimp, cable crimp, and twist knot - are used to make up the Industrial Pro cup, wheel, and end brushes.

The Industrial Pro bench wheel brush multi arbor adapter is designed to fit different shaft sizes. The correct answer is 7, indicating that the adapter can fit seven different shaft sizes.

When an end user experiences wire in a brush that is flying apart, the usual cause of this is applying too much pressure. Applying excessive pressure can cause the wires in the brush to break or become loose, leading to the brush flying apart. This can happen regardless of the type of brush being used or the condition of the brush.

A wire brush is not typically used as an impact tool, a screwdriver, or a paint sprayer. However, it can be used as a grinder. Wire brushes are commonly used for removing rust, paint, and other surface coatings from metal surfaces. The bristles of the brush are made of wire, which can be abrasive and effectively grind away the unwanted material. Therefore, a wire brush can be considered as a type of grinder in certain applications.

The given answer suggests that an Industrial Pro brush has a life expectancy that is 2 to 7 times longer than a low-cost brush made in China. This means that the Industrial Pro brush is expected to last significantly longer than the low-cost brush.

Brushing operations must be performed with the wire ends because the wire ends are the part of the brush that make contact with the surface being brushed. By using the wire ends, the brush can effectively remove dirt, debris, or other unwanted materials from the surface. The wire ends are designed to be durable and abrasive, allowing them to scrub away any contaminants. Using any other part of the brush, such as the arbor hole, side of the wheel, or mounting bracket, would not provide the same level of effectiveness in the brushing operation.

The acronym "MSFS" stands for "Maximum Safe Free Speed." This term refers to the highest speed at which a particular object or system can safely operate without causing any damage or risks. It is important to adhere to this maximum safe free speed to ensure the safety and integrity of the object or system in question.

A cable crimp uses 9 to 12 crimped wires wrapped together to form a small cable. This style of wire is commonly used in applications where flexibility and durability are required, such as in electrical wiring or telecommunications cables. The crimped wires are tightly wrapped together, providing strength and stability to the cable. This design allows for easy installation and maintenance, making it a popular choice in various industries.

A stringer bead brush has wire that is tightly twisted to the end of the knot, creating a narrow face with high-impact action. This type of brush is primarily used for weld cleaning.
