Weiler 97740 Wheel Brush 14 in Crimped Nylon 180 Grit

Product Description

The WEILER 97740 is a 14-inch diameter wheel brush designed for surface finishing, deburring, and blending applications. It uses crimped nylon filaments loaded with 180-grit silicon carbide abrasive, which allows the brush to cut and finish simultaneously without aggressive stock removal. The arbor hole mount measures 5-1/4 inches and accepts standard arbor shaft setups. With a maximum rated speed of 1,800 RPM and a 3-3/4 inch trim length, this brush delivers consistent filament contact across broad work surfaces. It is well suited for metalworking, fabrication, and surface prep tasks where controlled abrasion is required.

This wheel brush is used in industrial and manufacturing environments for finishing metal, plastic, and composite surfaces. The nylon fill material with silicon carbide abrasive makes it appropriate for applications requiring a uniform scratch pattern or light material removal without wire contamination of the workpiece. Typical install scenarios include bench grinders, arbor-mounted spindles, and surface finishing machines where a 14-inch brush fits the work envelope. The 1-inch face width focuses abrasive action along a defined contact zone.

Key Features

• 14-inch outside diameter provides broad surface coverage per pass
• Crimped nylon filaments with 180-grit silicon carbide abrasive for controlled finishing
• 5-1/4 inch arbor hole fits standard arbor-mounted equipment
• 1,800 RPM maximum rated speed for safe operation on compatible machines
• 3-3/4 inch trim length maintains consistent filament pressure throughout brush life
• 1-inch face width delivers focused abrasive contact

Compatibility

Designed for arbor hole mounting on bench grinders, spindle finishing machines, and similar industrial rotary equipment that accepts a 14-inch wheel brush with a 5-1/4 inch arbor hole. Verify machine RPM rating meets or exceeds 1,800 RPM before mounting.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician. Power down and lockout the machine before mounting or removing the brush per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Confirm the arbor shaft diameter is compatible with the 5-1/4 inch hole before mounting, and ensure all guards are in place before operation. Never exceed the 1,800 RPM maximum rated speed marked on the brush.
