Wire wheel brush for angle grinders
This Weiler 13232 wire wheel brush fits angle grinders with a 5/8-11 threaded spindle. Its 4-1/2 inch diameter and 3/16 inch face width suit surface preparation tasks. Carbon steel twist-knot bristles measuring 0.02 inch diameter and 13/16 inch length deliver aggressive cleaning action. Maximum operating speed is 15000 RPM for high-speed material removal.
Suited for carbon steel cleaning and weld prep
Metalworkers removing rust, scale or weld spatter from carbon steel will find this brush effective. The stringer bead twist knot construction reaches into corners and irregular profiles. Users needing to clean stainless steel without contamination should choose a stainless-steel bristle brush instead. Applications requiring a wider face width or lower RPM rating will need a different brush configuration.
5/8-11 threaded arbor compatibility
The brush mounts only on angle grinders or tools equipped with a 5/8-11 threaded spindle. Verify your tool's spindle thread before purchase because the connector size is fixed and cannot be adapted. This single specification determines whether the brush installs securely and runs safely at the rated 15000 RPM maximum speed.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 4-1/2" brush generate during continuous use on an angle grinder?
The brush itself produces no heat; heat comes from friction between the carbon steel knots and the workpiece, so keep the grinder moving and use light pressure to limit temperature rise.
What must I already own to mount the 5/8-11 threaded hole on this model 13232?
An angle grinder with a 5/8-11 spindle and a guard rated for at least 15000 RPM is required; the brush threads directly onto the spindle.
Will the 0.02" diameter carbon steel knots damage the softer metal on my older 13/16" bristle-length tools?
The 0.02" knots are aggressive on carbon steel; on softer metals they can remove material quickly, so test on scrap first and reduce contact time.
