Walter Surface Technologies 13G304 Knotted Cup Brush 3 in

Product Description

The WALTER SURFACE TECHNOLOGIES 13G304 is a knotted carbon steel cup brush designed for aggressive surface preparation on metal workpieces. The knotted wire configuration delivers concentrated abrasive action suited for removing weld spatter, rust, mill scale, and heavy coatings. Wire diameter measures 0.020 inches, and the brush spins up to 12,000 RPM, making it effective on angle grinders and die grinders. A single-row construction and bridled design help maintain wire alignment under load, extending usable brush life. Weighing 0.66 pounds, this brush is a direct fit for grinder-based surface work in fabrication, maintenance, and repair environments.

This cup brush is suited for use in metal fabrication shops, structural steel work, pipe prep, and weld cleanup applications. The threaded arbor with a 5/8-11 thread size fits standard angle grinders used by ironworkers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians. It handles demanding surface prep tasks where flat wire brushes lack the cutting aggression needed for heavily contaminated or corroded surfaces. Single-row knotted construction is particularly well matched to tight weld seams and contoured surfaces that require directed wire contact.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with angle grinder safety procedures. Always power down and disconnect the grinder before mounting or removing the brush. Verify the grinder spindle thread is 5/8-11 and that the tool RPM rating is compatible with this brush before operation. Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye and face protection when operating wire brushes at speed.
