HS-017 Brush

Our new product Kuzmin™ HS-017 Brush (High Speed Brush) is a further improvement of our past HS-014 Brush. The Kuzmin™ HS-017 Brush belongs to a next generation of roto-brushes. The habitual roto-brush is designed to be attached to electric drill by chuck. Usually such solution cannot provide more than 2900 rpm and accompanied by significant eccentric oscillation.

Kuzmin™ HS-017 Brush has longer and thinner bristles than our past HS-014 Brush. That makes a better finish of the ski running surface.

The Kuzmin™ HS-017 Brush is designed to be attached to angle grinder (a handheld power tool). To angle grinder with a most common M14 spindle (or with proper adapter to 5/8"-11 thread spindle). The solution provides up to 12000 rpm and practically total lack of eccentric oscillation. The brush’s bristles are made of 0.05 mm thin high quality nylon.

Thus, this combination – high rotation velocity and soft thin nylon bristles provides shining polishing result and very good glide. The brush provides very good surfacing of your ski base.

Please, pay attention! The revolving brush has to be kept in constant lengthwise motion. Motion can be very slow; it can be back-and-forth motion. But it has to be motion. Never stop.
Do not push the brush against ski base. The pressure has to be very light.

Though we do not recommend to glide wax skis, we have to point out, that Kuzmin™ HS-017 Brush works very well even on glide waxed (hot waxed) skis.
