OVERVIEW

Premium Surface Preparation with Walter Saucer Brushes

The Walter 13H554 5-inch Saucer Brush is a specialized abrasive tool designed to tackle the challenges of complex surface cleaning. Unlike standard cup brushes or flat wire wheels, the unique saucer shape of this brush allows it to conform to irregular contours, making it the ideal choice for cleaning curved surfaces, inside corners, and hard-to-reach areas on machinery and metal fabrications. Manufactured by Walter Surface Technologies, a leader in industrial surface treatment, this brush is engineered for durability, safety, and performance.

Equipped with high-quality crimped wire, this saucer brush offers a flexible brushing action that is perfect for light to medium-duty applications. The crimped design allows the wire tips to clean surfaces effectively without being overly aggressive, making it suitable for removing rust, paint, scale, and corrosion while preserving the integrity of the base material. This flexibility is particularly beneficial when working on parts that require a consistent finish without deep scratches or gouges.

Balance and safety are paramount in the design of Walter wire brushes. The 13H554 is precision-balanced to run smoothly on 5-inch angle grinders, significantly reducing vibration during operation. This not only improves operator comfort and reduces fatigue but also extends the life of the power tool. The brush features a standard 5/8" arbor, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of industrial grinders. Whether you are preparing surfaces for welding, cleaning up after fabrication, or performing maintenance on cast iron and steel components, this saucer brush delivers reliable, professional results.

Key Industrial Applications

This tool is widely used in metal fabrication shops, shipyards, and maintenance departments. Its ability to clean "in-between" spaces—where a cup brush is too wide and a stringer bead wheel is too narrow—makes it a versatile addition to any abrasive inventory. It excels in removing surface contaminants from steel, iron, and other ferrous metals, ensuring a clean substrate for subsequent processing or coating.

FAQ

The saucer brush features a flatter, angled profile compared to a deep cup brush. This allows it to access tight corners, inside angles, and irregular contours that a standard cup brush might be too bulky to reach, while still providing good surface coverage.

This brush is designed for use with 5-inch angle grinders that have a 5/8" arbor shaft. Ensure your grinder's RPM rating matches or exceeds the brush's safety rating.

It depends on the severity of the rust. Crimped wire is more flexible and less aggressive, making it ideal for light to medium rust removal and leaving a smoother finish. Knotted wire is more rigid and better suited for heavy-duty, aggressive removal of thick scale and slag.

While the brush will physically work, using a carbon steel wire brush on aluminum or stainless steel can cause 'after-rust' due to carbon contamination. For non-ferrous metals, it is recommended to use a stainless steel wire brush.

Always check the label on the specific brush, but 5-inch wire brushes typically have a maximum RPM rating around 12,500. Never exceed the rated RPM of the accessory.

The specification lists a 5/8" arbor. Most saucer brushes for angle grinders include a threaded 5/8-11 hub for easy mounting, but verify if your specific model requires a retaining nut.

Always wear a face shield (in addition to safety glasses), heavy gloves, and protective clothing. Wire brushes can shed bristles during use, so full protection is essential.
