OVERVIEW

Industrial-Grade Stringer Bead Brush for Steel

The Walter Allsteel 6-inch Stringer Bead Brush (SKU: 13W661B) is a high-performance abrasive tool designed specifically for heavy-duty cleaning operations on steel surfaces. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this brush features a tightly twisted knot construction, often referred to as a "stringer bead" style, which provides aggressive cleaning action in narrow grooves, channels, and weld seams. The "Allsteel" designation indicates the use of premium carbon steel wire, optimized to resist fatigue and breakage even under the stress of high-RPM angle grinders.

This specific variant is supplied in bulk packaging, making it an economical choice for large-scale fabrication shops, pipeline construction sites, and industrial maintenance departments where consumable turnover is high. The 6-inch diameter combined with a narrow 1/4-inch face width allows operators to access tight corners and root passes effectively. The brush is equipped with a standard 5/8"-11 threaded arbor, ensuring compatibility with most professional 6-inch angle grinders. Its precision balancing minimizes vibration, protecting both the power tool and the operator from unnecessary wear and fatigue during prolonged use.

Key Technical Applications:

  • Post-weld cleaning of root and hot passes in pipeline construction.
  • Removal of heavy slag, spatter, and oxidation from structural steel.
  • Surface preparation prior to painting or coating.
  • Deburring of cut steel edges and profiles.

FAQ

This brush features a 5/8"-11 threaded arbor, which is the standard mount for most 4.5-inch to 6-inch angle grinders.

No, this is an 'Allsteel' brush made with carbon steel wire. Using it on stainless steel can cause cross-contamination and rust. You should use a stainless steel (INOX) brush for stainless applications.

Stringer bead brushes have very narrow, tightly twisted knots designed to fit into tight spaces, such as the bevel of a pipe weld, to clean slag between passes.

The maximum safe operating speed is typically 12,500 RPM for this 6-inch brush. Always check the stamp on the brush itself to confirm before use.

Bulk packaging (indicated by the 'B' in the SKU) reduces packaging waste and typically offers a lower price per unit, which is ideal for high-volume industrial users.

Yes, absolutely. Always use the appropriate safety guard on your angle grinder and wear full face protection (face shield and safety glasses) and protective clothing, as wire bristles can detach during use.

Physically it might thread on if the spindle is 5/8-11, but it is NOT recommended. A 6-inch brush is too large for a 4.5-inch grinder guard and may exceed the tool's power capacity or safety limits. Use only on tools rated for 6-inch accessories.
