Weiler 83130 Wheel Brush 8 Inch Nylon 180 Grit 3600 Rpm

Product Description

The WEILER 83130 is an 8-inch diameter wheel brush designed for surface conditioning, deburring, and finishing applications. It uses crimped nylon filaments filled with silicon carbide abrasive at 180 grit, making it suitable for blending, light material removal, and surface prep on metal, wood, or composite materials. The brush mounts via an arbor hole and has a 1-inch face width with a 2.25-inch trim length. Rated to 3,600 RPM, it is intended for use on stationary bench grinders or compatible power equipment. Weighing 0.75 pounds, it is a single-unit item and does not include a shank adapter.

This wheel brush is used in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where controlled surface finishing is required. The 180-grit silicon carbide fill provides a consistent scratch pattern suitable for pre-finishing prep or cosmetic blending on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The crimped nylon filament construction allows the brush to conform to contoured surfaces while delivering abrasive action without aggressive stock removal. It is a common tool for machinists, welders, and industrial maintenance technicians.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with rotating abrasive equipment. Always power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel brush. Confirm that the machine spindle speed does not exceed the 3,600 RPM maximum rating of this brush before operation. Follow applicable ANSI B11 and OSHA standards for abrasive wheel mounting, including the use of flanges and proper guard clearance.
