Product Description

The OSBORN 0001146600 is a crimped wire wheel brush designed for surface preparation, deburring, and light material removal in industrial and trade applications. It features a 3-inch outside diameter and a 1/4-inch shank mount for use in standard die grinders and rotary tools. The fill material is carbon steel, suited for work on ferrous metals, weld seam cleanup, and scale removal. The brush is rated to 20,000 RPM, making it compatible with high-speed pneumatic and electric rotary tools. This type of brush is commonly used by fabricators, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals.

This wheel brush is appropriate for bench-mounted rotary tools or handheld die grinders in both shop and field settings. Typical applications include weld preparation, rust and scale removal, and surface cleaning on steel pipe, fittings, and structural components. The crimped wire construction provides consistent, aggressive contact across irregular and flat surfaces. It is sold individually and fits standard 1/4-inch collet tooling without an adapter.
