Weiler 08565 Knotted Wheel Brush 6 Inch Carbon Steel

Product Description

The WEILER 08565 is a knotted wire wheel brush designed for aggressive surface preparation, weld cleaning, rust removal, and scale removal on metal workpieces. Constructed with carbon steel wire in a cable twist knot configuration, this brush delivers consistent cutting action throughout its service life. The 6-inch outside diameter and 3/8-inch face width make it well-suited for bench grinder and angle grinder applications. It is rated to a maximum of 9,000 RPM and mounts via a standard arbor hole. Installation and use require no shank adapter. Metalworkers, fabricators, and maintenance technicians are the primary users of this type of brush.

This brush is used in industrial, commercial, and trade shop environments for tasks including weld spatter removal, surface descaling, paint stripping, and general metal surface preparation. The cable twist knotted wire construction provides more aggressive cutting compared to crimped wire designs and is appropriate for heavy-duty cleaning on ferrous metals. It is commonly used with bench grinders and stationary or portable grinding equipment where arbor hole mounting is standard.

Installation Notes

This brush is installed by metalworkers and maintenance technicians on bench grinders or compatible grinding equipment.
