OVERVIEW

Premium Stainless Steel Wire Brush for Industrial Applications

The Walter 13L462 is a high-performance 4-1/2" wire brush designed specifically for heavy-duty cleaning on stainless steel and aluminum surfaces. Engineered with the professional fabricator in mind, this brush features a robust knotted wire construction that provides the aggression needed to remove heavy slag, scale, rust, and weld discoloration without compromising the integrity of the base material. The use of premium stainless steel wire is critical for applications where ferrous contamination must be avoided, ensuring that your stainless steel projects remain rust-free and compliant with industry standards.

One of the defining characteristics of Walter surface technologies products is their commitment to operator safety and comfort. This wire brush is manufactured with individual wire bundles that are precisely positioned and securely knotted. This meticulous construction results in a perfectly balanced tool that runs smoothly on angle grinders. Reduced vibration not only improves user comfort and control but also extends the lifespan of your power tools by reducing wear on the spindle bearings. The 1/4" face width allows for precise cleaning in tight corners, stringer beads, and root passes, making it an essential accessory for pipeline and structural welding.

Equipped with an M14 threaded arbor, this model is designed to fit specific angle grinders commonly used in various industrial settings. Whether you are prepping surfaces for coating, cleaning inter-pass welds, or performing final finishing, the Walter 13L462 delivers consistent results. Its long service life and fast removal rates make it a cost-effective solution for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) environments where efficiency and quality are paramount.

FAQ

This specific brush features an M14 threaded arbor. Please verify your angle grinder spindle size before purchasing, as many North American grinders use 5/8"-11 threads.

Yes, you can, but it is not recommended if you plan to use the brush on stainless steel later. Using it on carbon steel will contaminate the brush, which can then transfer rust to stainless steel surfaces.

Knotted brushes are much more aggressive and stiffer. They are designed for heavy-duty cleaning, such as removing thick scale, slag, and spatter, whereas crimped brushes are for lighter surface finishing.

Yes, stainless steel brushes are excellent for use on aluminum as they prevent ferrous contamination that would cause the aluminum to corrode or oxidize improperly.

Always check the stamped rating on the brush itself. Generally, 4-1/2" wire brushes are rated for 12,500 to 15,000 RPM, but you must ensure your grinder does not exceed the brush's maximum rating.

Walter balances their brushes to ensure every wire bundle is uniform. This eliminates the wobble and vibration common in cheaper brushes, protecting your tool and your hands.

Absolutely. Always wear a face shield, safety glasses, and protective clothing. Wire brushes can shed wires during operation, which can be dangerous without proper PPE.
