Walter Surface Technologies 13C170 Wheel Brush 2 in

Product Description

The WALTER SURFACE TECHNOLOGIES 13C170 is a crimped stainless steel wheel brush designed for aggressive surface preparation and finishing work on steel. Rated to 25,000 RPM, it mounts to a die grinder via a 1/4-inch shank and delivers consistent wire contact across a 2-inch outside diameter and 5/8-inch face width. The crimped wire construction allows the filaments to flex and conform to irregular surfaces, making this brush well suited for deburring, cleaning weld seams, and removing light scale. Wire diameter falls in the 0.0100 to 0.0199-inch range, providing a balance between cut rate and surface finish.

This brush is intended for use on steel substrates in fabrication, maintenance, and welding applications. It installs on standard die grinders equipped with a 1/4-inch collet. Stainless steel fill material resists contamination of the workpiece, which is important when working on stainless or other alloys where carbon steel wire contact is unacceptable. Typical use cases include weld prep, post-weld cleanup, rust removal, and surface conditioning in both shop and field environments.

Key Features

• Crimped stainless steel wire conforms to irregular surfaces for consistent contact
• 25,000 RPM maximum speed rating matches common die grinder operating ranges
• 1/4-inch shank included for direct mounting to die grinders with no adapter needed
• 2-inch outside diameter and 5/8-inch face width suit tight-clearance applications
• Stainless steel fill prevents carbon contamination on sensitive workpieces
• Wire diameter range of 0.0100 to 0.0199 inches balances aggression and finish quality

Compatibility

Designed for use with die grinders accepting a 1/4-inch shank. Intended for material application on steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tradespeople or experienced operators familiar with rotary abrasive tooling. Always confirm the die grinder maximum RPM rating meets or exceeds the brush rating of 25,000 RPM before mounting. Power down and disconnect the tool from the air supply or electrical source before installing or removing the brush. Operators should wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves, and ensure the work area is clear of personnel before operating at speed.
