Festool KB 85 Rustilon Sanding Brush K80 150mm

At a Glance: 150mm Rustilon sanding brush with plastic bristles and embedded K80 grit for intermediate sanding of wooden surfaces

The Festool KB 85 Rustilon Sanding Brush is a specialist sanding brush designed for the Festool BMS 180 brush machine. Made for the second step in the wood structuring and surface preparation process, this brush uses plastic bristles with embedded K80 abrasive grit to smooth, clean and refine wooden surfaces after initial brushing or texturing. It is ideal for intermediate sanding where the aim is to soften the raised grain, remove roughness and prepare the surface for further finishing. With its 150mm exterior diameter and 85mm working width, the KB 85 gives professional users a controlled, consistent brushing action across larger wooden surfaces, helping to achieve a clean and even result with excellent Festool system compatibility.
