26 forum posts 2 photos	Hi I frequently need to polish up new steel castings and the supplier recomends and uses a *"very very soft"* stainless steel brush like really fine wire wool mounted on a grinder. Does anyone know where I can get these in the UK? PS the supplier couldn't find the manufacturer's details so I'm asking here

I think if I knew the precise name or term for this brush I could find it. If I put in soft wire brush etc I get everything but the item I'm looking for
