Norton 66252839096 Wheel Brush 3 in Carbon Steel

Product Description

The NORTON 66252839096 is a 3-inch diameter wheel brush designed for aggressive surface preparation, weld cleaning, and deburring on metal workpieces. Fitted with carbon steel stringer bead wire and a coarse grade fill, it delivers concentrated scrubbing action at a rated maximum speed of 20,000 RPM. The brush mounts via a 1/4-inch arbor hole and requires no shank. It is a standard consumable used by fabricators, welders, and maintenance technicians working with angle grinders or bench grinders where a compact, high-speed wire wheel is needed.

This wheel brush is suited for light to medium industrial and shop applications including weld spatter removal, rust and scale cleaning, and surface conditioning on ferrous metals. The stringer bead wire configuration concentrates wire tips for deeper reach into grooves, welds, and irregular surfaces. With a 1/4-inch face width and 1-inch trim length, it is intended for precision cleaning tasks rather than broad surface coverage. It is sold individually and is a direct replacement or replenishment consumable for standard shop brush stock.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified shop personnel or tradespeople familiar with abrasive wheel mounting procedures. Always power down and disconnect or de-energize the grinder before mounting or removing the brush. Confirm the arbor size matches the 1/4-inch hole and that the tool's maximum RPM rating does not exceed the brush's 20,000 RPM limit. ANSI B11 and OSHA abrasive wheel standards require the use of appropriate eye protection and wheel guards during operation.
