Norton 66252838972 Wheel Brush 3 in Crimped Ss

Product Description

The NORTON 66252838972 is a 3-inch crimped stainless steel wheel brush designed for surface conditioning, deburring, blending, and cleaning on metal workpieces. Mounted via a 1/4-inch shank, it connects directly to die grinders, drill presses, and similar rotary tools without an adapter. The crimped stainless steel fill material flexes on contact, reducing wire breakage and producing a consistent finish. Rated to 25,000 RPM, this coarse-grade brush handles demanding material removal tasks in fabrication, maintenance, and general metalworking applications. It weighs approximately 0.2 pounds and ships as a single unit.

This wheel brush is suited for use in industrial and commercial settings where a shank-mount rotary brush is needed for light to moderate deburring, weld spatter removal, rust cleaning, and surface prep on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Its stainless steel fill resists contamination on stainless workpieces, making it a common choice in food-grade fabrication, aerospace, and general sheet metal work. The 1/4-inch shank is a standard fit for most pneumatic and electric die grinders used by machinists, welders, and maintenance technicians.

Key Features

• Crimped stainless steel fill for flexible contact and reduced wire fatigue
• 25,000 RPM maximum speed rating for use with high-speed die grinders
• 1/4-inch shank mount included — no separate adapter required
• 3-inch outside diameter with 3/4-inch trim length for controlled brush action
• Coarse grade suitable for deburring, rust removal, and weld spatter cleanup
• Filament wire diameter up to 0.0099 inches for aggressive surface contact

Compatibility

Designed for use with die grinders, drill presses, and rotary tools accepting a 1/4-inch shank, rated to operate at or below 25,000 RPM. Verify that the tool's rated RPM does not exceed the brush maximum before use.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians using standard die grinder collets or drill chucks. Always power down and disconnect the tool from its air or electrical supply before mounting or removing the brush. Confirm the tool's no-load RPM does not exceed the 25,000 RPM rating of the brush before operation. Wear appropriate eye protection and a face shield when operating rotary wire brushes, in accordance with applicable ANSI and OSHA standards.
