Wire Wheel Brush for Die Grinders
The Weiler 17644 is a stainless steel wire wheel brush designed for use with die grinders. It targets metalworkers and fabricators who need a rotary brush for surface preparation on carbon steel. The 3 inch diameter and 1 inch face width suit contoured or confined work areas. This new brush operates at speeds up to 25,000 RPM for aggressive material removal.
Crimped Bristles and Quarter Inch Shank
Crimped stainless steel bristles measuring 0.012 inch in diameter provide flexible contact that follows irregular surfaces without excessive gouging. The 15/16 inch bristle length balances reach and stiffness for consistent cleaning action. A 1/4 inch round shank locks securely into standard die grinder collets, reducing vibration during extended use. Stainless construction resists corrosion and prevents after-rust on ferrous workpieces.
Speed Limit Defines Safe Application
The 25,000 RPM maximum rating sets a hard ceiling; exceeding it risks bristle failure and operator injury. Users must verify their die grinder’s free speed stays at or below this figure before mounting the brush. The 3 inch diameter limits coverage per pass, making large flat areas slower to process than with wider wheels. This brush is not suited for stationary bench grinders or tools lacking a 1/4 inch collet.
