Wire Wheel Brush - Brass
Arbor: 32mm
MAX RPM: 6000
For light duty cleaning, paint removal & rust removal.
Application:
- Light duty cleaning, paint & rust removal
- Automotive
- Construction
- Manufacturing
- DIY
Features
- 150 mm wheel diameter for maximum surface coverage and faster cleaning cycles on large metal workpieces.
- 25 mm face width giving an ample brushing surface for even, consistent contact across broad areas.
- Stainless-steel wire bristles resistant to corrosion and contamination, ideal for stainless steel and light alloys.
- Wheel-style brush design for smooth, consistent rotation and balanced operation on bench grinders.
- Heavy-duty construction suitable for repeated use in industrial, fabrication, maintenance or restoration workshops.
- Versatile metal compatibility works on stainless steel, aluminium, cast metal, iron, and other alloys without risk of contamination.
- Good for large or irregular surfaces — ideal for plates, metal panels, cast parts, structural components, and curved surfaces where small brushes are inefficient.
Benefits
- Efficient surface cleaning of large workpieces – large wheel diameter and wide face speed up rust, scale and paint removal across plates, sheets and large parts.
- Contamination-free prep — stainless-steel bristles avoid carbon steel transfer, preserving finish and corrosion resistance on stainless and aluminium surfaces.
- Strong rust, paint and weld slag removal — aggressive brushing action deals with stubborn corrosion and old coatings effectively.
- Improved finish and adhesion for painting, coating or welding after thorough surface cleaning and preparation.
- Long-lasting durability — built to withstand frequent use in workshop or industrial environments without rapid wear.
- Better control and even coverage on large or contoured parts compared to small brushes or hand sanding.
Extra Information
- Designed for bench grinders or stationary rotary tools — check that your grinder supports 150 mm wheel brushes before use.
- Excellent choice for cleaning stainless steel, aluminium, cast components, automotive parts, structural steel, metal plates, and heavy-duty workpieces.
- Not recommended for thin sheet metal without backing — aggressive brushing may warp thin or flexible material.
- After rust or paint removal, consider finishing with a finer brush or polishing pad if a smoother surface is required prior to painting or coating.
- Store brush in a dry environment to preserve stainless-steel bristles and prevent contamination or corrosion of the tool and workpieces.
Pro Tip
- Run the grinder at moderate speed and apply light, even pressure — let the brush do the work rather than forcing it for cleaner results and longer brush life.
- To avoid uneven wear, rotate the workpiece or move it across the face of the brush in overlapping strokes — especially on large surfaces to get uniform cleaning.
- Wear gloves, eye protection and dust mask when using — stainless steel bristles and metal particles can fly off during use. Use a leather pad over the guard to catch stray wires.

Safety
- Wear eye, ear and dust protection when using the wire wheel — metal particles, rust, scale and old paint flakes can be ejected at high speed.
- Ensure the wheel brush is securely and correctly mounted before starting the grinder — check arbor size and wheel guard alignment.
- Use moderate pressure only — excessive force can cause surface damage or rapid wire wear.
- Keep hands, loose clothing, jewellery and hair clear of the rotating brush at all times.
- Operate in a well-ventilated area or use dust extraction when removing rust, paint or coatings to avoid inhalation of metal dust or paint particles.
- Inspect the brush before each use — discard if bristles are excessively worn, bent or broken to avoid safety hazards and ensure effective cleaning.
