82596 - Pferd 5-Inch Stainless Steel Knot Wire Wheel 5/8-11 Thread

Industrial Grade Stainless Steel Cleaning

The Pferd 82596 Knotted Twisted S/S Wire Wheel is a premium abrasive tool engineered for the demanding requirements of industrial metal fabrication and maintenance. Designed with a 5-inch diameter and a standard 5/8-11 threaded arbor, this wheel is compatible with most professional angle grinders, offering a robust solution for surface preparation and finishing tasks.

This specific model features Stainless Steel (INOX) wire, which is critical when working on stainless steel or aluminum substrates. Using carbon steel brushes on these materials can leave behind iron deposits that lead to "after-rust" and contamination, compromising the corrosion resistance of the workpiece. Pferd’s high-quality stainless wire ensures that the integrity of your material is maintained throughout the cleaning process.

The Standard Twist Knot construction strikes an optimal balance between aggression and flexibility. Unlike crimped wire wheels, which are softer and more flexible, the knotted design bundles the wire filaments to provide high-impact action suitable for removing heavy scale, weld slag, and stubborn surface contaminants. However, the standard twist is slightly less rigid than a full stringer bead knot, allowing for a somewhat smoother surface finish while still delivering the power needed for heavy-duty applications.

Pferd is renowned for manufacturing brushes with excellent balance and concentricity. This precision engineering reduces vibration during operation, which not only extends the life of the angle grinder bearings but also significantly reduces operator fatigue. For industrial environments where consistency and tool longevity are paramount, the Pferd 82596 offers reliable performance for deburring, edge blending, and weld cleaning.
