OVERVIEW

Precision-Balanced 6-Inch Wire Wheel for Industrial Bench Grinders

The Walter 13-B 060 Bench Grinder Brush is a premium abrasive accessory designed to deliver exceptional performance in surface preparation and finishing tasks. Engineered with Walter Surface Technologies' commitment to quality, this 6-inch wire wheel features industrial-grade carbon steel wire that offers superior durability and resistance to fatigue. Unlike standard wire brushes that may shed bristles or wear unevenly, the 13-B 060 maintains its structural integrity even under rigorous daily use in maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) environments.

One of the critical technical advantages of this product is its impeccable balance. Unbalanced wheels can cause severe vibration, which not only leads to operator fatigue but can also damage the bearings and shaft of the bench grinder itself. Walter ensures that every wheel is precision-balanced to run smoothly and concentrically. This results in a safer working environment and a more consistent finish on the workpiece. The crimped wire design is specifically optimized for general-purpose cleaning, allowing for the effective removal of surface contaminants like rust, paint, and scale without removing base material or altering the geometry of the part.

Versatility is a key feature of the 13-B 060. It is supplied with a set of nested reducer bushings, allowing it to be mounted securely on a wide range of shaft sizes, including 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", and 1". This universal compatibility ensures that the brush can be integrated into almost any existing workshop setup without the need for additional adapters. With a maximum rating of 6,000 RPM, this brush is compatible with standard 6-inch bench grinders, providing the speed and aggression needed for efficient deburring and cleaning operations.

FAQ

The Walter 13-B 060 comes with a set of nested reducer bushings that allow it to fit 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", and 1" shafts, making it compatible with most standard bench grinders.

This specific model (13-B 060) uses carbon steel wire. For stainless steel applications, it is recommended to use a stainless steel wire wheel (typically the 13-B 160) to prevent cross-contamination and rust issues.

The maximum safe operating speed for this 6-inch wire wheel is 6,000 RPM. Always check your grinder's RPM rating before installation.

Crimped wire, like on this wheel, is flexible and ideal for light to medium cleaning, paint removal, and deburring. Knotted wire is more rigid and aggressive, designed for heavy slag removal and severe impact applications.

No, this wheel is designed specifically for stationary bench grinders. It is not rated or shaped for use on handheld angle grinders.

Walter wire wheels are known for their impeccable balance, which significantly reduces vibration compared to economy brands, ensuring smoother operation and less wear on your machine.

This is a 6-inch diameter wheel, which is the standard size for most home and light-industrial bench grinders.

Yes, always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses or a face shield, as well as protective gloves and an apron. Wire brushes can occasionally shed bristles during operation.
