Weiler 08615 Knotted Wheel Brush 8 Inch Carbon Steel

Product Description

The WEILER 08615 is a knotted wheel brush designed for aggressive surface conditioning, weld cleaning, and scale removal on metal workpieces. It mounts via a 5/8-inch arbor hole and spins at a maximum of 6,000 RPM, making it suitable for use on bench or pedestal grinders, automatic machines, and CNC milling equipment. The brush fill is carbon steel wire twisted in a cable-knot configuration, with a filament wire diameter in the 0.020 to 0.029-inch range. The 1-5/8-inch trim length and 1/2-inch face width deliver consistent contact pressure across the work surface. At 2.38 pounds, it is a solid, production-grade tool built for repeated industrial use.

This brush is used in metalworking and fabrication environments where aggressive wire action is needed to remove rust, mill scale, weld spatter, or surface coatings. It is rated for bench or pedestal grinders as well as automatic machines, CNC machines, and milling setups. It is typically installed and operated by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working with ferrous metals in industrial or shop settings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the grinder or machine manufacturer's mounting instructions. Always power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the brush. Verify the machine's rated RPM meets or does not exceed the brush's 6,000 RPM maximum before operation. Operators should wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves, as wire bristles can shed during use.
