Value Collection 0320012350 Wheel Brush 8 in Brass

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0320012350 is an 8-inch diameter wheel brush designed for surface preparation, deburring, cleaning, and scale removal on metal and other hard materials. It features crimped brass wire fill, which delivers moderate aggressiveness with reduced risk of surface gouging compared to knotted wire styles. The brush mounts via a 5/8-inch arbor hole and is rated to a maximum of 4,500 RPM. With a 1/2-inch face width and 1-3/4-inch trim length, it covers a consistent contact area and is suited for bench grinder or pedestal grinder setups. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians are the primary users.

This wheel brush is used in metalworking, fabrication, and general industrial maintenance applications. It is appropriate for bench or pedestal grinder installations where a standard 5/8-inch arbor is present. Typical tasks include removing rust, mill scale, weld spatter, and surface oxides from ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The brass wire construction makes it particularly suitable for applications where contamination from steel wire is a concern, such as work on copper, aluminum, or other non-ferrous substrates.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician or machinist following the grinder manufacturer's mounting instructions. Always power down and unplug the grinder before mounting or removing the brush. Confirm the grinder's maximum RPM rating meets or exceeds the brush's 4,500 RPM rating before operation. Wear appropriate face and eye protection, and ensure the work rest and wheel guard are properly positioned before starting the machine.
