Weiler 01078 6 Inch Crimped Carbon Steel Wheel Brush

Product Description

The WEILER 01078 is a 6-inch crimped wire wheel brush designed for use with bench grinders and angle grinders fitted with an arbor hole mount. It is constructed with carbon steel fill material and a crimped wire configuration, which provides a flexible, consistent scrubbing action suited for rust removal, scale removal, surface preparation, and weld cleanup. The wire filament diameter falls in the 0.0100 to 0.0199 inch range, delivering a balance of aggressiveness and surface conformability. Rated to 6,000 RPM, this brush is appropriate for standard bench grinder applications in fabrication, maintenance, and repair environments.

This wheel brush is used in metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and general industrial settings where abrasive wire brushing is part of routine surface prep or cleanup work. It suits applications including deburring, paint stripping, and scale removal on ferrous metals. The arbor hole mount makes it compatible with typical bench grinder spindles. It is sold individually and is commonly installed by machinists, welders, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified personnel familiar with bench grinder safety and ANSI B11.9 grinding machine standards. Always power down and disconnect the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel brush. Verify that the grinder spindle speed does not exceed the 6,000 RPM maximum rating marked on the brush before operation. Use the correct arbor flanges and ensure the brush is properly seated before resuming power.
