PRO & Elite 1100 Replacement Strips & Brushes

The abrasive strips and brushes in a PRO or Elite 1100 are wear parts — that is the design, not a flaw. The Quick-Strip system exists so a worn set changes over in one session and the machine cuts like the day it was commissioned. This page carries everything the 1100 head takes: complete factory changeover sets and single replacements for spot repair.

What each option is for

The factory 112-piece Quick-Strip brush set is the full-head changeover: every brush position replaced at once, which restores the even, factory cutting pattern across the whole working width. The matching 112-piece abrasive changeover renews the abrasive complement the same way. For a damaged position between changeovers — a strip torn by a knot or a staple — the single Quick-Strip brush repairs one slot without disturbing the rest of the head.

When to change over

Watch the work, not the calendar. The tell-tale signs of a tired head: cycle times creeping up to reach the same finish, a scratch pattern that varies across the part width, edges of profiled work losing definition, and more dust than cut on resinous stock. Changing a partially worn head as a full set matters more than it seems — mixing fresh and worn positions cuts unevenly, and the fresh strips wear prematurely trying to carry the load.

Getting full life from a set

Three habits stretch strip life measurably. Keep feed rates matched to grit — overfeeding coarse work loads the leading edge of every strip. Clean the abrasive regularly on pitchy or resin-heavy species; a cleaning stick pulls the load out before it glazes. And store spare sets flat, dry and out of sunlight so the backing stays supple until it goes in the head.

Other machines

Running a 1400-width machine? Its sets are on the PRO & Elite 1400 page. The CD2-300 strips and the general all-machines replacement strip index cover the rest of the line. Not sure which head your machine carries? Send us the serial number and we will confirm the correct set before you order.

Do the 112-piece sets fit both PRO 1100 and Elite 1100?

Yes — the Quick-Strip sets on this page are the factory complement for the 1100-width head in both machine families.

Can I replace just one damaged strip?

Yes, the single Quick-Strip brush exists exactly for that. Use singles for damage repair; use full sets when the head is uniformly worn, so the cutting pattern stays even.

How long does a changeover take?

The Quick-Strip system is tool-friendly by design — a full 112-piece changeover is a bench session, not a service call, and the machine goes back to work the same day.
