OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade Surface Preparation

The Pferd 82284 Knotted Wheel Brush is a premium industrial tool designed for heavy-duty surface conditioning and cleaning applications. Engineered with German precision, this 4-inch diameter brush features a standard twist knot construction using high-tensile carbon steel wire. This design provides a more aggressive cutting action than crimped wire alternatives, making it the preferred choice for removing stubborn contaminants such as heavy rust, scale, paint, and corrosion from steel surfaces.

Equipped with a 5/8-11 threaded arbor, this wheel brush mounts directly onto standard angle grinders, eliminating the need for separate adapters and ensuring a secure, balanced fit. The precise balancing of Pferd brushes significantly reduces vibration during operation, which protects both the power tool and the operator from excessive fatigue during prolonged use. The .014" wire filaments are tightly twisted to resist flaring, allowing the brush to maintain its effective cleaning width and penetrate into corners and angles effectively.

This tool is an essential asset for fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and industrial manufacturing environments where surface integrity is paramount. Whether preparing surfaces for coating, cleaning structural steel, or performing heavy deburring operations, the Pferd 82284 delivers consistent performance and exceptional service life.

Key Applications

  • Heavy Cleaning: Removal of thick layers of rust, scale, and oxidation from steel components.
  • Surface Prep: Preparing metal surfaces for painting, coating, or bonding.
  • Deburring: Removing large burrs from cut or machined metal edges.
  • Maintenance: General cleaning of machinery, tanks, and structural elements.

FAQ

The Pferd 82284 features a standard 5/8-11 UNC threaded arbor, making it compatible with most North American angle grinders.

No, this brush uses carbon steel wire. Using it on stainless steel can cause 'after-rust' or contamination. For stainless steel, you should use a stainless steel (INOX) wire brush.

While specific ratings should always be checked on the product label, 4-inch knotted wire wheels typically have a max RPM rating around 20,000. Always ensure your grinder's speed does not exceed the brush's rating.

Knotted wire is twisted into tight bundles for aggressive, high-impact cleaning. Crimped wire is wavy and flexible, better for light cleaning and surface finishing.

Yes, the knotted design is aggressive enough to effectively remove mill scale from hot-rolled steel.

No, the 5/8-11 threaded hub is built into the wheel, so it screws directly onto the spindle of standard angle grinders.

Always wear a face shield over safety glasses, heavy gloves, and protective clothing (apron or leathers). Wire brushes can shed filaments at high speeds.

Yes, a 4-inch wire wheel is commonly used on 4-1/2 inch and 5-inch angle grinders, provided the arbor thread matches (5/8-11).
