Weiler 01808 8 Inch Crimped Wire Wheel Brush Stainless Steel

Product Description

The WEILER 01808 is a crimped wire wheel brush designed for deburring, cleaning, blending, and surface preparation on metal workpieces. The brush mounts via a 3/4-inch arbor hole and spins on a bench grinder or compatible arbor-drive tool. At 8 inches in outside diameter with stainless steel fill wire in the 0.010 to 0.019-inch diameter range, the 01808 delivers consistent scratch patterns without carbon contamination — a critical requirement when working on stainless steel, aluminum, or other non-ferrous base materials. Licensed tradespeople in fabrication, welding prep, and maintenance environments are the primary users of this tool.

This wheel brush suits bench grinder and pedestal grinder applications in industrial maintenance, metal fabrication shops, and field service environments where stainless steel wire is required to prevent cross-contamination on corrosion-resistant alloys. The crimped wire configuration provides moderate aggressiveness and good conformability to irregular surfaces, making it well suited for weld spatter removal, rust scale removal, and general surface conditioning where a knotted wire brush would be too aggressive.

Key Features

• 8-inch outside diameter fits standard bench and pedestal grinder arbors
• Stainless steel fill wire prevents iron contamination on stainless and non-ferrous workpieces
• Crimped wire construction offers moderate aggressiveness with good surface conformability
• Filament wire diameter range of 0.010 to 0.019 inches for controlled scratch finish
• 3/4-inch arbor hole mount — no shank included, direct arbor-hole mounting only

Compatibility

Designed for use on bench grinders and pedestal grinders equipped with a standard 3/4-inch arbor. Verify spindle speed rating against grinder RPM before mounting. No specific OEM system compatibility is stated by the manufacturer for this SKU.

Installation Notes

Always power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing a wheel brush. Confirm the grinder spindle RPM does not exceed the maximum safe operating speed marked on the brush or its packaging. Use proper flanges and a matching arbor nut torqued per the grinder manufacturer guidelines. Eye protection and appropriate PPE are required during operation per ANSI B11 and applicable shop safety codes.
