Weiler 20180 6 Inch Tampico Wheel Brush Crimped Wire

Product Description

The WEILER 20180 is a 6-inch diameter wheel brush designed for use on bench grinders and pedestal grinders. It features a tampico natural fiber fill with a crimped wire configuration, making it well suited for light deburring, surface blending, and cleaning applications where a softer, more flexible abrasive action is needed. The brush mounts via an arbor hole with a 2-inch bore and does not include a shank. With a maximum rated speed of 6,000 RPM and a trim length of 1.5 inches, this brush delivers consistent contact and controlled material removal across a variety of workpiece surfaces.

This wheel brush is intended for use with bench or pedestal grinder setups in light industrial, maintenance, and fabrication environments. The tampico fill material provides a gentler action compared to steel wire brushes, making it appropriate for applications where surface finish must be preserved or where the workpiece material is softer. Typical applications include cleaning castings, conditioning surfaces, and removing light burrs from metal or wood components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician following the grinder manufacturer's mounting instructions. Always power down and unplug or lockout the grinder before mounting or removing the brush. Verify that the grinder's rated RPM meets or does not exceed the brush's 6,000 RPM maximum before operation. Inspect the brush for damage before each use and do not operate a damaged or deformed brush.
