There seems to be new brush setters coming out all the time and today we have a new one from Kose for use Yokomo Max motors. Coming in anodised blue, it looks almost identical to the version released last month by Much More, and as expected it does all the things you expect a brush setter to do. Coming with a 7.8mm cutter it allows you to cut your brushes in 0.0, 0.3 & 0.5mm offsets.
