Technical Features
- Crimped wire construction: The crimped wire configuration provides flexibility across the brush face, allowing the filaments to conform to irregular or contoured surfaces for more consistent contact during use.
- 0.012 in. (0.305 mm) coarse wire diameter: The coarse wire gauge delivers aggressive abrasive action, making it effective at cutting through rust, scale, and surface deposits on metal.
- 1/4 in. hex shank: The hex shank design is compatible with standard hex-chuck power drills and impact-rated drivers, providing secure tool engagement and quick bit changes without additional adapters.
- 2-1/2 in. (63.5 mm) wheel diameter: The compact diameter allows access to tighter work areas while still providing sufficient surface coverage for efficient material removal.
- Rated to 6,000 RPM maximum: The defined maximum operating speed establishes a safe performance ceiling when paired with compatible rotary tools.
- Stem-mounted design: As a stem-mounted wheel brush, it is driven directly via the shank no separate arbor or mounting hardware is required.
Applications
- Removing rust and oxidation from metal surfaces prior to welding, painting, or coating
- Stripping scale and surface deposits from ferrous metals
- General cleaning and surface preparation on metal workpieces
- Use with standard 1/4 in. hex-chuck power drills and rotary tools
