I know that some power tools can produce a surface profile in steel such as needle gunning, but is a powered wire brush capable of creating a surface profile? My thought is that it would be creating long canyons, but not necessarily sporadic peaks and valleys similar to what you would see with abrasive blasting. If you have any resources documenting an answer that would also be helpful. Thanks!
 
Manual?
Manuel and Jose and Loopy and Raul and Leroy and Moe and Joe and Curly? (What kind of quality control and schooling and supervision will you guarantee? )
Automatic with contact feedback to the robot (assured pressure and number of passes as the wire brush erodes and wears?)

The "look" of wirebrushed material often is harder to control than the gross surface scars and canyons.
