13D008 - Walter 13-D 008 Mandrel for Wire Brushes 1/4 Inch Shank

Secure Mounting for Industrial Wire Brushes

The Walter 13-D 008 Mandrel is an essential accessory for professionals who rely on precision surface preparation tools. Designed by Walter Surface Technologies, a leader in industrial abrasives, this mandrel is engineered to securely mount wire brushes and small abrasive wheels onto power tools equipped with a 1/4-inch collet, such as die grinders and electric drills. In industrial environments where safety and efficiency are paramount, using the correct mounting hardware is just as critical as selecting the right abrasive. This mandrel ensures that your brushes spin true, minimizing run-out and vibration that can lead to operator fatigue and poor finish quality.

Constructed from high-quality hardened steel, the 13-D 008 is built to withstand the torque and rotational forces generated during heavy-duty cleaning, deburring, and finishing operations. The 1/4-inch shank is precision-ground to fit snugly into standard collets, preventing slippage that could damage the tool or the workpiece. The mounting end, designed to accommodate brushes with specific bore sizes (typically 3/8 inch based on the configuration), features a robust locking mechanism that holds the accessory firmly in place, even under the stress of high-RPM operation. This reliability makes it a staple in metal fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and manufacturing facilities.

Using a dedicated mandrel like the Walter 13-D 008 not only improves safety but also enhances the performance of your abrasives. A balanced assembly allows the wire tips to contact the work surface evenly, ensuring uniform cleaning action and extending the life of the brush. Whether you are removing rust from structural steel, cleaning welds in tight corners, or preparing surfaces for painting, this mandrel provides the stability needed for precise control. It is compatible with a range of Walter wire brushes, making it a versatile addition to any tool crib. Invest in quality hardware to get the most out of your abrasive consumables and ensure a safer, more productive work environment.
