Key Features
- 60 grit, the finest of the three grits Tenax publishes in this 4 in. Diamond Wire series - 36, 46 and 60.
- Snail Lock backing, a quick-change bayonet fitting.
- 4 in. diameter.
- Part of Tenax's Diamond Wire line, filed under aggressive stock removal rather than with the Filiflex and Airflex finishing brushes.
- Sold as one brush.
Who Is This For?
Fabricators finishing a leathered or antiqued surface after the coarse passes, and shops that want a lighter texture from a single brush on softer material. It is the last step Tenax offers in this line before its finishing brush families take over.
What This Is Not For
Even at 60 grit this is a stock-removal brush and not a polishing tool, so it will not bring a surface to gloss. Starting a hard, sawn or flamed face with the 60 also wastes the brush - the Tenax Diamond Wire Antiquing Brush in 36 grit opens the texture first and the 46 grit steps between them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is 60 the finest grit in this line?
Tenax publishes this 4 in. Snail Lock Diamond Wire brush in 36, 46 and 60 grit, so 60 is the finest of the three.
How does it attach?
The brush has a Snail Lock backing, a quick-change bayonet fitting that suits any holder taking a 4 in. Snail Lock tool.
Will this brush polish the stone?
Tenax files its Diamond Wire brushes under aggressive stock removal, not finishing. They create and refine texture; they do not bring a surface to a polish.
What material is it used on?
Tenax publishes no material list for these brushes, so no restriction can be stated. Antiquing and leathering brushes are used across granite, marble and quartzite generally.
