Forney Industries Inc 72752 Crimped Wire Wheel 6 in 5-pack

Product Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 72752 is a crimped wire wheel designed for surface preparation, rust removal, paint stripping, and general cleaning on metal and other hard surfaces. The wheel measures 6 inches in diameter with a wire diameter of 0.014 inches and fits arbors ranging from 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch. Crimped wire construction provides a more flexible, consistent action compared to knotted wire wheels, making it well suited for cleaning irregular surfaces without aggressive material removal. This item is sold in a package of 5 wheels.

Crimped wire wheels like the 72752 are commonly used in metal fabrication shops, welding operations, and general maintenance settings. They mount to bench grinders and angle grinders with compatible arbor sizes. Typical applications include weld spatter cleanup, scale removal, and surface conditioning prior to coating or welding. The 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch arbor range covers most standard bench grinder spindle sizes found in residential garages and commercial shops alike.

Installation Notes

Wire wheels should be installed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Always power down and unplug the grinder before mounting or removing a wire wheel. Confirm the grinder spindle speed rating meets or exceeds the maximum RPM rating of the wheel before operation. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and face shield, as wire bristles can detach during use.
