Weiler 08178 Knotted Wire Wheel Brush 10 Inch 4500 Rpm

Product Description

The WEILER 08178 is a knotted wire wheel brush designed for aggressive surface preparation and weld cleaning on bench grinders, pedestal grinders, and straight grinders. The wheel measures 10 inches in outside diameter with a 3/4-inch face width and a 1-3/4-inch trim length. Carbon steel fill wire in the 0.0100 to 0.0199 inch diameter range delivers consistent cutting action on ferrous metals. The arbor hole mount requires no shank. Rated to 4,500 RPM, this brush handles heavy-duty deburring, scale removal, and rust stripping tasks encountered in fabrication and maintenance work.

This wheel brush suits industrial and commercial applications where aggressive wire action is needed on steel, iron, and similar ferrous workpieces. Typical install scenarios include bench or pedestal grinder setups in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and welding operations. It is also compatible with straight grinders where wheel brush attachments are supported. The standard twist knot pattern concentrates wire tips for maximum cutting aggression on heavy scale, slag, and surface corrosion.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use on bench grinders, pedestal grinders, and straight grinders that accept arbor-hole-mount wire wheel brushes. Verify that the grinder arbor size matches the 3/4-inch hole diameter before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel brush. Confirm the grinder's rated RPM meets or does not exceed the 4,500 RPM maximum marked on this brush — never mount a wheel on a machine whose free speed exceeds the wheel's maximum RPM rating. Always use appropriate eye protection and guarding per ANSI B11 and grinder manufacturer guidelines during operation.
