Tool for machining surfaces, edge regions, and contours

A tool for machining surfaces, edge regions, and contours, the tool comprising:

• at least one disk-shaped base body rotatable around a tool axis,
• a plurality of flexible machining means, which are arranged on a circumference of the base body, wherein the machining means are formed rod-shaped, are arranged spaced apart from one another, extend substantially radially outward from the circumference of the base body, and comprise bristles, bristle bundles, filaments, or filament bundles, and
• at least two disks arranged in the direction of the tool axis, wherein the machining means are arranged in an axial direction between and laterally adjacent to the at least two disks such that:
• movement of the machining means is not restricted in a peripheral direction, transversely to the axial direction, by the at least two disks, and thus the machining means are deformable in the peripheral direction substantially over an entire length of the machining means that protrudes beyond the circumference of the base body, and
• movement of the machining means is restricted in the axial direction by the at least two disks, and thus the machining means are deformable in the axial direction substantially over a length of the machining means that protrudes beyond the at least two disks, wherein said length of the machining means that protrudes beyond the at least two disks is significantly shorter than a preceding length of the machining means that does not protrude beyond the at least two disks.
