OVERVIEW

Precision Engineered for Industrial Surface Finishing

The Walter 13K514 Stainless Steel Knot Wire Brush represents the pinnacle of surface finishing technology for industrial applications. Designed specifically for the rigorous demands of pipeline construction and heavy fabrication, this 5-inch wire wheel is engineered to deliver consistent, high-performance cleaning while maintaining the structural integrity of the base material. The brush features a 5/8-inch arbor, making it compatible with a wide range of industrial angle grinders.

At the core of this product is Walter's commitment to superior metallurgy and balance. The wire strands are manufactured from premium-grade stainless steel, which is essential for preventing ferrous contamination on stainless steel and aluminum workpieces. This makes the 13K514 an indispensable tool for shops adhering to strict AWS or ASME codes regarding material purity. The "Stringer Bead" profile, characterized by a narrow 1/4-inch face width and tightly twisted knots, allows the brush to penetrate deep into narrow grooves, root passes, and corners where wider brushes cannot reach.

One of the standout features of Walter wire brushes is their exceptional rotational balance. Each unit is meticulously balanced during manufacturing to ensure concentricity. This reduction in vibration not only prolongs the life of the power tool by reducing bearing stress but also significantly enhances operator safety and comfort. Reduced vibration leads to less hand-arm fatigue, allowing for longer periods of operation with greater precision. Whether removing slag, spatter, or oxidation, the 13K514 delivers aggressive material removal without compromising the surface finish.

In summary, the Walter 13K514 combines durability, safety, and performance. Its robust construction ensures a long service life even under heavy load, providing excellent value for MRO operations and fabrication facilities looking to optimize their consumable usage.

FAQ

The Walter 13K514 is a stringer bead brush designed for cleaning tight spaces, such as the root pass of pipe welds or narrow grooves.

Yes, it will clean carbon steel effectively, but it is not recommended if you plan to use the same brush on stainless steel later, as this causes cross-contamination.

Walter brushes are individually balanced to ensure concentricity, which eliminates vibration, reduces tool wear, and improves operator safety.

This is a 5-inch diameter brush. While the 5/8" arbor may fit, you must ensure your grinder's guard can accommodate a 5-inch accessory safely.

Using stainless steel wire prevents the introduction of free iron into the surface of stainless steel or aluminum workpieces, preventing rust and corrosion.

This is a twist knot brush, which provides a stiffer, more aggressive brushing action compared to crimped wire brushes.

The arbor size is 5/8"-11, which is the standard spindle size for most North American angle grinders in this size range.

Yes, absolutely. Always wear a face shield and safety glasses when using wire wheels, as wires can detach during use.
