82488P - Pferd 6-Inch Stringer Bead Wire Wheel 5/8-11 Thread

Industrial Grade Stringer Bead Wire Brush

The Pferd 82488P is a high-performance 6-inch wire brush designed specifically for the demanding requirements of the welding and fabrication industries. Known as a "stringer bead" brush, this tool features a tightly twisted knot construction that creates a very narrow face width. This specialized profile allows the brush to access tight spaces, such as the root pass of a weld in pipeline construction, expansion joints, and narrow grooves that standard wire wheels cannot reach. Manufactured by Pferd, a global leader in abrasive and surface finishing solutions, this brush is engineered for consistency, safety, and durability.

Constructed with high-tensile carbon steel wire, the 82488P delivers aggressive material removal rates. It effectively strips away heavy slag, weld spatter, rust, and scale without removing the base metal. The individual wire knots are twisted tightly to the end, providing a stiff, high-impact brushing action that withstands the rigors of heavy-duty industrial use. The integrated 5/8-11 threaded nut makes installation on standard angle grinders fast and simple, eliminating the need for separate adapters or locking nuts. This direct mounting system also ensures the brush remains centered, reducing run-out and vibration.

Vibration reduction is a key feature of Pferd power brushes. Excessive vibration not only damages power tools over time but also leads to operator fatigue and potential injury (HAVS). Pferd's precise balancing ensures smooth operation even at high rotational speeds, allowing for longer working periods with less strain on the user. This brush is an essential consumable for pipeline welders, structural steel fabricators, and MRO professionals who require reliable surface preparation tools.

Whether you are cleaning a critical weld joint in the field or prepping metal surfaces in the shop, the Pferd 82488P offers the reliability and performance expected from a premium industrial brand. Its robust construction ensures that wire breakage is minimized, providing a safer working environment and a lower cost per use over the life of the product.
