Norton 66252833490 5 Inch Carbon Steel Wheel Brush

Product Description

The NORTON 66252833490 is a carbon steel stringer bead wheel brush designed for aggressive surface preparation, weld cleaning, and deburring on metal workpieces. The 5-inch outside diameter and coarse-grade carbon steel wire deliver efficient stock removal and surface finishing on ferrous metals. With a maximum speed rating of 12,500 RPM and a threaded 5/8-11 arbor mount, this brush attaches directly to angle grinders and bench grinders equipped with a compatible spindle. It ships individually and is sold in multiples of ten. Metalworkers, pipefitters, and fabricators use this style of brush for post-weld slag removal and general surface conditioning tasks.

This wheel brush is suited for industrial and commercial fabrication environments, maintenance shops, and field welding applications. Stringer bead wire configuration concentrates filament tips at the work surface for deeper cleaning action compared to crimped wire designs. It is appropriate for use on structural steel, pipe welds, and heavy plate where coarse surface preparation is required before coating, inspection, or further welding passes.

Compatibility

Designed for use with angle grinders and bench grinders fitted with a 5/8-11 threaded spindle. Confirm the tool's maximum free-speed RPM meets or exceeds the brush rating before mounting.

Installation Notes

Disconnect and de-energize the grinder before mounting or removing the brush. Thread the brush onto the 5/8-11 spindle by hand until snug, then confirm it is secured before powering on. Always verify the tool's rated free-speed RPM does not exceed the 12,500 RPM marked on the brush. Wear appropriate PPE including a face shield and heavy gloves when operating wire brushes, in accordance with ANSI B11 and tool manufacturer guidelines.
