Stapled brushes consist of a series of individual tufts of fill material inserted into the bored hole in a solid block of wood or plastic. The tufts of fill material are secured to the block by a wire staple. Stapled set brushes are made with a variety of hole or tuft patterns to obtain the desired brush density and brushing effect. Hole patterns can be made with virtually any brush pattern. See the pictures below illustrating the different brush densities and hole patterns. The function of the brush application and fill material size determines the density and size of the tuft holes.

Stapled set circular brushes up to 4" in length. Any stapled set brush longer than 4" is considered a stapled set cylinder brush.

As with coil wound cylinder brushes, stapled set brushes can be made with similar core constructions. The plastic or wood core can be press fit to a shaft, made with collars to accept customer's shaft, made with stub ends or ends can be machined and inserted into ends of core. Steel or aluminum tubing can be press fit into the inside diameter of the tube for mounting collars and added support. Bearings can be press fit into circular brushes.
