13J514 - Walter 5-Inch Stainless Steel Wire Wheel Brush 5/8 Arbor

Premium Industrial Cleaning with Walter Wire Wheel Brushes

The Walter 13J514 is a high-performance 5-inch wire wheel brush engineered for the rigorous demands of industrial metalworking. Manufactured by Walter Surface Technologies, a leader in surface treatment solutions, this brush is specifically designed with stainless steel wires to cater to applications where surface purity is paramount. When working with stainless steel substrates, using a carbon steel brush can lead to "after-rust" and contamination; the 13J514 eliminates this risk by utilizing premium stainless steel filaments that maintain the integrity of your workpiece.

One of the standout features of Walter wire brushes is their meticulous construction. Each wheel is precision-balanced to ensure concentricity. This balance is critical in industrial environments as it significantly reduces vibration during operation. Less vibration means less wear on the power tool's bearings and, more importantly, reduced fatigue for the operator, allowing for longer periods of work with greater precision. The 5/8-inch arbor ensures compatibility with a wide range of angle grinders and stationary bench tools commonly found in fabrication shops.

This crimped wire wheel is ideal for light to medium-duty applications. Unlike twisted knot brushes which are designed for aggressive material removal, the crimped wire design of the 13J514 offers a degree of flexibility. This makes it the perfect tool for surface finishing, removing heat discoloration from welds, cleaning oxides, and deburring edges without gouging the base metal. Whether you are in aerospace, food processing equipment manufacturing, or general fabrication, the Walter 13J514 delivers consistent, safe, and efficient results.

Key Industrial Benefits:

• Contamination Control: Essential for GMP and food-grade stainless steel fabrication.
• Operational Safety: Tightly secured wires and balanced core reduce wire breakage and tool jumping.
• Longevity: High-quality wire tempering ensures the filaments resist fatigue and wear longer than economy alternatives.
