OVERVIEW

Industrial-Grade Surface Cleaning with Walter Allsteel Brushes

The Walter Allsteel 4" Crimped Saucer-Cup Brush (SKU: 13W431) is a premium abrasive tool designed for industrial environments where consistency, safety, and longevity are paramount. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this brush features a unique saucer-cup configuration that bridges the gap between standard cup brushes and bevel brushes. This design allows operators to access difficult angles, corners, and contoured surfaces that traditional flat cup brushes might miss. The 4-inch diameter combined with a standard 5/8"-11 threaded arbor ensures compatibility with most industrial angle grinders, providing a secure and balanced connection essential for high-RPM operations.

Constructed with high-grade carbon steel wire, the Allsteel series is specifically formulated to deliver dependable results on steel workpieces. The crimped wire design provides a degree of flexibility, making it the ideal choice for light to medium-duty applications such as removing surface rust, stripping paint, cleaning weld scale, and general surface preparation. Unlike twisted knot brushes which are aggressive and rigid, crimped wires conform slightly to the surface, preserving the base material while effectively removing contaminants. This makes the 13W431 an excellent tool for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) tasks where surface finish quality is critical.

Safety and operator comfort are core pillars of Walter's manufacturing process. Each 13W431 brush undergoes rigorous balancing protocols to ensure perfect concentricity. This attention to detail significantly reduces vibration during use, which not only protects the angle grinder's bearings but also minimizes the risk of Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) for the operator. The strictly controlled wire count ensures uniform wear, preventing premature breakage and extending the service life of the brush. For fabrication shops and industrial facilities requiring reliable surface treatment solutions, the Walter Allsteel Crimped Saucer-Cup Brush offers exceptional value and performance.

FAQ

The saucer-cup shape allows the brush to access corners, contours, and hard-to-reach areas more effectively than a standard flat cup brush. It also permits a flatter angle of approach for better control.

This brush comes with a built-in 5/8"-11 threaded arbor, which is the standard spindle size for most 4-1/2" and 5" angle grinders.

While it can physically clean stainless steel, this 'Allsteel' brush uses carbon steel wire. Using it on stainless steel can leave carbon deposits that may lead to rust (cross-contamination). For stainless steel, it is recommended to use a brush with stainless steel wire.

The maximum safe operating speed for this brush is typically rated at 12,500 RPM. Always check the label on the brush itself to confirm and ensure your grinder does not exceed this speed.

Crimped wire is flexible and ideal for light to medium cleaning and surface finishing. Twist knot wire is more rigid and aggressive, designed for heavy-duty removal of slag, thick rust, and heavy scale.

Yes, absolutely. Wire brushes can throw loose wires and debris. Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses, a face shield, gloves, and protective clothing when operating wire brushes.

Yes, this 4-inch brush is compatible with 4-1/2 inch and 5-inch angle grinders, provided they have a 5/8"-11 spindle.

Walter uses a rigorous manufacturing process that ensures an equal wire count in every tuft and precise balancing of the cup, resulting in vibration-free operation and uniform wear.
