Disston Company 842685 Wire Wheel 2 Inch Coarse 1/4 Shank

Product Description

The DISSTON COMPANY 842685 is a 2-inch coarse wire wheel designed for aggressive surface prep work on metal and painted surfaces. Built with .012 gauge wire and a 1/4-inch stem-mounted shank, it fits standard rotary tools and die grinders that operate at speeds up to 5,000 RPM. The coarse wire construction delivers fast material removal on rust, scale, and loose paint. This wheel is a common consumable for trade professionals who need a reliable, small-diameter wire wheel for detail work in tight areas or on irregular surfaces.

This wire wheel is suited for metalworking, maintenance, and surface preparation tasks in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades. Typical applications include stripping paint from pipe fittings, removing corrosion from metal brackets and housings, and cleaning weld areas before inspection or coating. The 2-inch diameter and stem-mounted design make it practical for portable rotary tools used in the field or on the bench. Its coarse grade is best matched to heavy buildup removal rather than fine finishing.

Installation Notes

Always verify the tool's rated RPM does not exceed the 5,000 RPM maximum rated speed of this wheel before use. Secure the 1/4-inch shank fully into the tool's collet or chuck before operating. Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves, as wire wheels shed wire fragments during use. Inspect the wheel for damaged or missing wires before each use and replace if compromised.
