Osborn 0002674800 Wheel Brush 8 in Knotted Carbon Steel

Product Description

The OSBORN 0002674800 is a knotted wire wheel brush designed for aggressive surface preparation, weld cleaning, rust removal, and scale stripping on metal workpieces. Built with carbon steel fill wire in the 0.0100 to 0.0199 inch diameter range, it delivers consistent cutting action under high-speed operation. The brush mounts via a 5/8 inch arbor hole and is rated to 8,500 RPM, making it suitable for use on angle grinders and bench grinders that match those specifications. At 26.628 pounds shipping weight, this is a heavy-duty unit built for sustained industrial use. A shank is not included; a matching arbor or adapter is required for installation.

This wheel brush is used across metalworking, fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial production environments. Typical applications include pre-weld joint cleaning, post-weld spatter removal, paint and coating stripping, and surface oxide removal on ferrous metals. The 8 inch outside diameter and 1-11/16 inch trim length make it well suited for bench grinder setups and larger angle grinders where a wide cutting face improves throughput on flat or curved stock.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety procedures per ANSI B7.1 guidelines. Always power down and disconnect the grinder from its power source before mounting or removing the brush. Confirm the machine spindle speed does not exceed the 8,500 RPM maximum rating marked on the brush before operation. Wear appropriate PPE including a face shield and heavy gloves during installation and use, and never exceed the rated maximum RPM.
