Don’t Be Fooled — There’s Only One Contact

Keith Brown • December 5, 2025

When it comes to industrial deburring, surface finishing, and high-precision internal tool solutions, E.S.S. (E SurfaceSolutions) remains the leader — and there’s only one official point of contact to get the real product, true specifications, and verified technical support.

In manufacturing — especially when dealing with burr removal, tight tolerances, cross-section, or finishing tough materials — cut corners in communications or sourcing can introduce risk. A burr left behind isn’t just an aesthetic blemish — it can cause friction, premature wear, poor surface coatings, and even safety hazards. Using a single, verified contact prevents confusion and guarantees that you’re getting genuine E.S.S. solutions — with accurate specs, performance data, and support from the original source.

What Sets ESS Apart

E.S.S. specializes in mechanical and chemical surface enhancements, combining proprietary ceramic extruded fiber brush technology with deep-feature capability — ideal for challenging materials such as hardened steels (up to 70 HRC), stainless steels, super-alloys (Inconel®, Hastelloy®, Monel®, René alloys, Titanium), and more.
Engineered fiber geometry delivers robust grinding power capable of removing burrs up to 0.010″ root thickness — and improves finishes while minimizing tool chatter and material stress.
For surface-hole and deep-bore finishing, E.S.S. brushes outperform conventional media by “out-flexing” typical abrasive media while maintaining cutting pressure deep into features — reducing the need for manual “lollipop” tools or re-work.
Compared to many incumbent solutions, E.S.S. often delivers 20–25% cost savings (due to longer tool life, faster cycle times, and reduced re-work), plus increased throughput and consistent part quality.

For manufacturers looking for workflow improvement, reduced manual deburring, or precision-finished surfaces across aerospace, medical, firearms, automotive, or general machining — E.S.S. delivers tools built for accuracy, longevity, and repeatable results.

As the Midwest representative, FactoryLink Inc. proudly supports E.S.S. with on-site demonstrations, product integration, training, and hands-on manufacturing solutions.

If you need the right E.S.S. tool for your operation, Contact us FactoryLink Inc. for support.

Either way — you’re connected to the same trusted network.

The Human Connection Behind Precision Manufacturing

By Keith Brown • December 12, 2025

In a world where advanced machines, automation, and cutting-edge tools dominate the conversation, it’s easy to forget that manufacturing has always been — and will always remain — a people-driven industry. Precision is not only measured in microns or tolerances, but also in the care, dedication, and expertise that humans bring to the shop floor. At its core, manufacturing is about relationships: between operators and their tools, engineers and their designs, suppliers and their customers, and teams who rely on each other to deliver quality work every single day. While automation accelerates efficiency, it is human intuition, problem-solving, and creativity that drive real innovation. Think of a machinist who knows the “feel” of a cutting tool in a way no algorithm can measure, or a team that rallies together to solve a production challenge on a tight deadline. These human connections transform technical excellence into sustainable success. At Factory Link Inc., we believe that technology and people are not in competition — they are partners. The most sophisticated cutting tools, workholding systems, or metrology solutions achieve their true potential only in the hands of skilled professionals who understand how to unlock performance. As we continue to advance precision manufacturing, we remain committed to supporting not just the tools and processes, but also the people who bring them to life. Because in the end, precision is not just about parts — it’s about people. LEARN MORE
