Norton 66252838973 Wheel Brush 3 Inch Crimped Ss

Product Description

The NORTON 66252838973 is a 3-inch diameter crimped wire wheel brush designed for surface preparation, deburring, cleaning, and light material removal on metal and other hard substrates. It mounts via a 1/4-inch shank, making it compatible with standard rotary tools, die grinders, and portable drills. The fill material is stainless steel wire, which resists corrosion and is suitable for use on stainless steel workpieces where carbon contamination from standard steel wire is a concern. Rated to 25,000 RPM, this brush handles high-speed tool applications. The coarse grade and crimped wire configuration provide aggressive action for paint stripping, rust removal, and weld cleanup.

This wheel brush is used across metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance trades. Typical applications include weld seam cleaning, surface prep before coating, deburring machined parts, and removing scale or oxidation from ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The 1/4-inch shank mounts directly into collet-style or keyless chucks on die grinders and rotary tools, making it practical for in-field service work as well as shop use. The coarse stainless steel fill is well suited for stainless steel and aluminum surfaces where cross-contamination must be avoided.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with rotary abrasive tool safety. Always confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 25,000 RPM maximum rating marked on the brush before mounting. Secure the 1/4-inch shank fully into the collet and verify the locking mechanism is tight before operation. Wear appropriate eye protection and face shield in accordance with ANSI B11 and tool manufacturer guidelines when operating wire brushes at speed.
