Product Description
The Venom € Diamond Antiquing & Leathering Brushes are professional-grade stone texturing tools designed to create antiqued, brushed, and leathered finishes on natural stone surfaces. These brushes are engineered to give fabricators precise control over surface texture while maintaining consistency from piece to piece.
Manufactured in Italy, these brushes are built for professional use where repeatable results, durability, and finish quality matter.
How Leathered Finishes Are Created
Leathered finishes are produced by shaping the surface of the stone into controlled highs and lows.
• The valleys create depth and texture
• The high points create contrast and reflect light
The final look depends on how aggressively the surface is worked and how much material is removed during each step.
Understanding the Three Brush Types
Diamond Brushes
Diamond brushes are the most aggressive option.
They:
• Remove material efficiently
• Create deeper valleys
• Establish the base texture
They are typically used in the early stages of the finishing process.
Silicon Carbide Brushes
Silicon carbide brushes are smoother and more refining.
They:
• Polish high points
• Reduce surface roughness
• Maintain the shape created by earlier steps
They are commonly used in the later stages of finishing.
Hybrid Brushes
Hybrid brushes combine diamond and silicon carbide abrasives.
They:
• Balance cutting and smoothing
• Provide controlled refinement
• Bridge the gap between aggressive and finishing stages
Why Multiple Brush Types Are Used
Each abrasive behaves differently. Using multiple brush types allows fabricators to:
• Control surface depth
• Manage texture consistency
• Achieve repeatable finishes
This is why professional shops use a system, not a single brush.
Machine Compatibility
These brushes are designed for use on:
• Hand polishers
• Inline polishers
• Backsplash polishing machines
• Line polishing systems
They feature a snail lock mounting system and 5/8–11 female thread for compatibility across equipment.
Recommended RPM Range
1,000 – 5,000 RPM
• Lower RPMs = deeper texture
• Higher RPMs = smoother finish
