Dewalt DW49255 Stainless Twist Wire Wheel 4 in X 5/8-11 Xp .020

Product Description

The DEWALT DW49255 is a 4-inch stainless cable twist wire wheel designed for aggressive surface preparation on angle grinders. Fitted with a 5/8 inch-11 threaded arbor, it mounts directly to standard angle grinders used in trade and industrial settings. The wheel uses .020-inch diameter stainless steel cable wire in a twist configuration, which delivers consistent contact pressure across the work surface. This style of wire wheel is well suited for weld cleanup, rust removal, mill scale removal, and surface conditioning on steel, cast iron, and other ferrous materials. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians rely on this type of wheel for both shop and field applications.

This wire wheel is built for use with 4-inch angle grinders equipped with a 5/8 inch-11 spindle thread, which is the standard configuration on most corded and cordless grinders in that size class. Common applications include pre-weld surface prep, post-weld slag and spatter removal, corrosion removal on structural steel, and general deburring. The stainless steel wire construction makes it appropriate for use on stainless base materials where cross-contamination from carbon steel wire is a concern.
