This wood buffing brush is composed of solid beech and features natural plant based tampico fillings. Tampico, also known as Mexican fibre, is harvested from the lechuguilla plant native to semi-desert areas of Mexico. This versatile fibre can resist temperatures up to 140°C, as well as acids and caustic soda, and its fineness makes it ideal for polishing.

Having been utilised for numerous years in the workshop, our drill-powered buffing brush can considerably reduce time and effort when operated correctly. Popularised as ‘pine drill brushes’ during the Victorian era when furniture was stripped to the bare wood and wax polished, these brushes have been meticulously crafted and wax polished using Gilboys' (clear) pure gold beeswax by our workshop specialists.

Dimensions

Brush Diameter: 10cm / 4 inches
Bristle Length: 4cm / 1 ⅝ inches

HOW TO USE

Our drill buffing brush is designed to make buffing carved and intricate wooden surfaces faster and more efficient after applying Gilboys wax polish.

Apply Gilboys wax polish and wait 20 to 30 minutes
Insert the spindle of the drill brush into the drill chuck and tighten securely
At an angle, offer the brush to the surface spinning at a medium speed
Continually move the spinning drill brush over the waxed surface to ensure all areas are buffed evenly
Finish off the newly 'drill buffed' surface by hand buffing with our open weave, pure cotton buffing cloth

BEST APPLICATIONS:

Drill brushes are most effective when used to buff carved woodwork. It is a much more effective way of buffing a carved relief surface when compared to just using a cotton cloth. It will also help to remove any excess areas of wax polish caught in the carvings and recesses. It will also save you a lot of time. I would expect a drill buffed coffer would save about a quarter of the time when compared to hand buffing.

IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS:

Do not use a wax drill brush on smooth, flat horizontal surfaces such as dining tables, side tables, chests etc. It will more than likely result in striping of the wax on the surface, leaving an uneven finish.

Tip: You can use it to buff table frames and chairs but always finish off the buffing with a cotton cloth for best results.

Great brush. Really makes the wax shine

Every product you sell works 200%

A good quality brush.

I bought this brush as a replacement for one that I lost. It is a good quality brush to use with the beeswax polish to achieve a good looking finish. I would recommend this rotary brush.

Excellent

Perfect brush for getting those curved and rounded areas that are impossible to buff with a regular rag or brush. Cat seemed to enjoy it, too but not so much when it spins.

Excellent service

The buffing brush and oil arrived the very next day after ordering. The attention to detail in the packaging and the personal touch of the "thank you" cards was a welcome bonus.
The buffing brush is obviously a quality made product and will no doubt improve the wax finishing to my CNC relief carvings.
I tried the oil on a small tray and I was impressed with how easy it was to apply and the finished look and feel. It is something that I will use a lot of in the future.

Buffing brush

Haven’t used yet but delivery was quick and the quality of brush looks great

nice bit of kit

i upcycle furniture for a living and have tried various wax buffing tools both manual and ones on my power tools. This is wonderful and does the job, great purchase and nice discount thanks to Chateau D Lalacelle

Everything is Perfect!

I’m so pleased to discover this amazing company with whom I ordered this buffing brush from. It arrived beautifully packaged and a hand written note (lovely handwriting by the way) and a a little treat of some sunflower seeds 🌻. The buffer is great. I used it to polish a work surface and it looks amazing. I’m going to use it on my newly oiled and waxed kitchen work surface next. Thank you Gilboys. Will definitely recommend.

Buffing brush 5 Star

5 star review.

Brush review

Well made and worked very well for waxing very fine details on a carved head. Lost a few fibres on first pass, but after that was excellent. Was purchased for waxing my wood carvings rather than furniture, and appears to work very well for this. Used as described with light pressure and using the edge of the brush. Would definitely recommend to save a little time waxing details.

Have not used brush yet but the wax has made cat scratches on my railings disappear
