13G584 - Walter 5-Inch Crimped Wire Cup Brush with Safety Ring, Steel, 5/8-11 Arbor

Precision Cleaning with Enhanced Safety

The Walter 13G584 is a high-performance 5-inch crimped wire cup brush designed for professional surface preparation. Engineered with Walter's commitment to quality, this brush features premium carbon steel wires that are crimped to provide flexibility and consistent cleaning action. It is specifically designed for use on steel surfaces, making it an essential tool for fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and industrial cleaning applications.

Innovative Safety Ring Technology

What sets this brush apart is its integrated supporting ring. In standard wire cup brushes, high rotational speeds can cause wires to flare outwards, reducing cleaning efficiency and potentially creating safety hazards. The Walter 13G584 includes a metal ring that encircles the wires, holding them tight and preventing premature flaring. This ensures a concentrated cleaning area and allows for more aggressive brushing when needed without sacrificing control.

Extended Life and Versatility

The safety ring not only improves performance but also extends the life of the brush. As the wire tips wear down during use, the supporting ring can be knocked off or removed, exposing fresh lengths of wire. This design feature effectively doubles the usable life of the brush compared to standard models. The 5/8"-11 threaded arbor ensures quick and secure attachment to most standard angle grinders, providing a vibration-free experience thanks to Walter's precision balancing.

Applications

This brush is ideal for removing rust, scale, paint, and corrosion from large flat surfaces or irregular shapes. The crimped wire is less aggressive than knotted wire, leaving a smoother finish without gouging the base metal. It is the perfect choice for surface preparation prior to painting or welding on mild steel structures.
