Osborn 0002671700 Knotted Stainless Steel Wheel Brush 4 in

Product Description

The OSBORN 0002671700 is a knotted stainless steel wheel brush designed for aggressive surface preparation, weld cleaning, and deburring on metal workpieces. The 4-inch outside diameter and knotted wire construction generate high contact force, making it effective for removing mill scale, rust, paint, and heavy oxidation. It runs at up to 20,000 RPM and mounts via a 5/8-11 threaded arbor, which fits most standard angle grinders and bench-mounted spindles. The 7/8-inch trim length and 3/8-inch face width focus the wire action into a narrow, high-pressure contact zone. Installed by fabricators, pipefitters, and maintenance mechanics wherever aggressive metalworking brushing is required.

This wheel brush is suited for weld seam cleaning, surface conditioning, and pre-weld preparation on stainless steel, carbon steel, and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The stainless steel fill material resists contamination of the workpiece, making it a preferred choice when working on stainless or food-grade surfaces where carbon steel wire would leave embedded particles. It is commonly used in fabrication shops, pipe and vessel work, and industrial maintenance applications.

Key Features

• Knotted wire construction for aggressive material removal and surface cleaning
• Stainless steel fill wire resists corrosion and prevents cross-contamination on stainless workpieces
• Rated to 20,000 RPM for compatibility with high-speed angle grinders
• 5/8-11 threaded arbor mounts directly to standard angle grinder spindles
• 3/8-inch face width and 7/8-inch trim length concentrate brush force in a precise contact zone
• Filament wire diameter in the 0.010 to 0.019 inch range balances aggressiveness with wire fatigue resistance

Compatibility

Designed for use with angle grinders and rotary tools equipped with a 5/8-11 threaded spindle. No shank adapter is included.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanics, fabricators, or maintenance personnel using standard angle grinder tooling. Verify the tool spindle speed rating meets or exceeds the brush maximum RPM before mounting. Always power down and disconnect the grinder before threading the brush onto the spindle, and confirm the brush is fully seated and secure before operation. Appropriate eye protection, a face shield, and gloves are standard PPE when operating wire wheel brushes.
