Product Description

The DEWALT DW49251 is a 5-inch stainless stringer wire wheel designed for aggressive surface preparation and material removal on metal, welds, and castings. The .020-inch stainless steel wire construction delivers consistent bite and durability across extended use. The 5/8-inch-11 threaded arbor provides a direct, secure mount to angle grinders equipped with a standard 5/8-inch-11 spindle. This wheel is suited for licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals who need reliable wire wheel performance without frequent replacement.

This wire wheel is used in industrial, commercial, and job-site applications where surface prep, rust removal, paint stripping, or weld cleaning is required. It fits standard 5-inch angle grinders with a 5/8-inch-11 spindle thread. Common install scenarios include pre-weld cleaning, post-weld spatter removal, and surface conditioning on structural steel, pipe, and fabricated components. It is a single-unit item with a minimum order quantity of one.

Always power down and disconnect the grinder from its power source before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify the grinder spindle thread matches the 5/8-inch-11 arbor before installation.
