Weiler 98538 Wheel Brush 8 in Carbon Steel Crimped Wire

Product Description

The WEILER 98538 is a carbon steel wheel brush designed for aggressive surface conditioning, deburring, and weld cleaning on metal workpieces. It mounts via an arbor hole and operates at up to 4,500 RPM, making it suitable for use on stationary bench grinders and compatible arbor-driven tools. The crimped wire construction provides a medium grade cut, delivering consistent material removal with some flex to follow irregular surfaces. With an 8-inch outside diameter and a 1-inch face width, this brush covers a meaningful working area in a single pass. It ships as an individual unit with no shank included.

This wheel brush is used in metalworking and fabrication environments for tasks including rust and scale removal, weld spatter cleanup, surface blending, and edge deburring on ferrous metals. The carbon steel fill material suits ferrous applications where contamination from stainless steel or brass wire is not a concern. Typical users include welders, pipefitters, ironworkers, and maintenance technicians working in industrial, commercial, and light manufacturing settings. Installation requires a compatible arbor-hole mounting setup on a bench grinder or similar power tool.

Installation Notes

This brush is installed by a machinist, fabricator, or maintenance technician using appropriate arbor hardware for the host grinder. Always power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the brush. Confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 4,500 RPM rated maximum before operation. Wear appropriate eye, face, and hand protection when operating wire wheel brushes, and inspect the brush for damaged or flared wire before each use.
