Weiler 01165 Wheel Brush 8 Inch Carbon Steel Crimped

Product Description

The WEILER 01165 is a crimped-wire wheel brush designed for deburring, cleaning, and surface conditioning on metal workpieces. The brush mounts via a 5/8-inch arbor hole and fits bench grinders, pedestal grinders, automatic machines, and CNC milling setups. At 8 inches in outside diameter with a 1/2-inch face width and a 2-1/16-inch trim length, it covers a wide contact area per pass. The carbon steel wire construction handles aggressive scale removal and weld spatter cleanup at speeds up to 6,000 RPM. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians are the primary users of this brush type.

This wheel brush is suited for use on benchtop and pedestal grinders in production shops, fabrication facilities, and machine maintenance environments. Typical applications include cleaning casting flash, removing mill scale, and prepping weld seams on ferrous metals. The crimped wire configuration delivers consistent pressure across irregular surfaces and provides a longer service life under intermittent loading compared to knotted-wire designs. Compatible equipment includes automatic machines, bench or pedestal grinders, and CNC milling centers where arbor-mounted tooling is standard.

Key Features

• Crimped carbon steel wire for consistent surface contact and extended tool life
• 8-inch outside diameter with 1/2-inch face width for broad coverage per pass
• 5/8-inch arbor hole fits standard bench and pedestal grinder spindles
• 2-1/16-inch trim length accommodates surface variation without excessive flex
• Rated to 6,000 RPM for use on typical bench and pedestal grinder speeds
• No shank included — direct arbor-hole mount only

Compatibility

Designed for use with automatic machines, bench or pedestal grinders, and CNC milling setups that accept arbor-mounted wheel brushes with a 5/8-inch bore.

Installation Notes

Wheel brushes of this type are installed and serviced by machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians following standard machine-shop safety practices. Always power down and lock out the grinder or machine before mounting or removing the brush. Verify that the machine spindle speed does not exceed the 6,000 RPM maximum rating marked on the brush. Wear appropriate eye and face protection during operation, and inspect the wire fill for damage before each use.
