Weiler 17602 Wheel Brush 1-1/2 in Crimped Carbon Steel

Product Description

The WEILER 17602 is a shank-mount wheel brush designed for use with die grinders and similar rotary tools. It features a crimped carbon steel fill that delivers consistent abrasive action on metal surfaces including deburring, cleaning, blending, and surface prep work. The brush measures 1-1/2 inches in outside diameter with a 1/2-inch face width and a 1/4-inch shank diameter, making it compatible with standard die grinder collets. Rated to 20,000 RPM, it handles the high rotational speeds common in pneumatic and electric die grinder applications. Weighing 0.1 pounds, it is a lightweight consumable kept on hand by fabricators, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians.

This wheel brush is suited for industrial maintenance, metal fabrication, and weld prep applications where access is tight and a larger cup or disc brush will not fit. The 1/4-inch shank and compact 1-1/2-inch diameter allow work inside bores, channels, and confined weld joints. Carbon steel wire construction makes it appropriate for ferrous metals. It is sold individually and is a direct fit for standard die grinder setups used in shop and field environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by inserting the 1/4-inch shank into the die grinder collet and tightening per the tool manufacturer's torque guidelines. Always confirm the tool's rated RPM meets or exceeds the brush's 20,000 RPM maximum before operation. Wear appropriate eye protection and ensure the work area is clear of flammables when wire brushing. Inspect the brush for broken or splayed wires before each use and replace if damaged.
