Value Collection 1520058350 Wheel Brush 8 in Knotted Brass

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1520058350 is a knotted brass wire wheel brush designed for aggressive surface preparation, weld cleaning, rust removal, and scale stripping on metal workpieces. The brush features an 8-inch outside diameter with a 5/8-inch face width and mounts via a 5/8-11 threaded arbor, making it compatible with standard bench grinders and angle grinders equipped with a matching arbor. Rated to 6,000 RPM maximum, it uses knotted brass wire filaments in the 0.0200 to 0.0299-inch diameter range, which deliver firm mechanical action while reducing the risk of ferrous contamination on copper, brass, or other non-ferrous base materials. The brush weighs 1.65 pounds and does not include a shank adapter.

This wheel brush is suited for metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance applications where a threaded-arbor bench grinder or compatible power tool is already in use. Knotted brass wire construction makes it a practical choice for cleaning non-ferrous metals, removing light corrosion, and prepping surfaces before coating or brazing. The 1.5-inch trim length provides consistent wire contact throughout the service life of the brush. Typical users include metal fabricators, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals performing weld prep or surface conditioning work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with rotating wire brush safety practices. Always power down and disconnect the grinder from its power source before mounting or removing the brush. Verify that the tool spindle RPM rating meets or does not exceed the 6,000 RPM maximum marked on this brush before operation. Wear appropriate eye protection and a face shield during use, as knotted wire brushes can shed wire fragments under load.
