Omega Pro 49 Knot Harvest

I just received this brush today. I am harvesting the knot to go in a Rubberset 400 handle.

I use a 5/16th drill bit to remove the knot.
I drill through the bottom and it pushes the knot out the top.

I put the not in a vice and use a hack saw to saw through the ferrule.

I cover the hairs and then clean up the plug on my belt sander.

All done. Ready for the Rubberset 400 handle.

The Rubberset 400 brush handle arrived today, and I fitted and set the Omega Pro 49 knot in it.
