13B065 - Walter 6-Inch Crimped Wire Wheel for Bench Grinders

Industrial-Grade Surface Finishing

The Walter 13B065 6" x 3/4" Bench Grinder Brush is engineered for professionals who demand consistency and durability in their surface finishing operations. Manufactured by Walter Surface Technologies, a leader in abrasive and tooling solutions, this wire wheel is crafted from premium industrial-grade steel wire. The high-quality wire construction ensures that the brush maintains its stiffness and cutting action over a longer lifespan compared to standard consumer-grade brushes. It is specifically designed to resist wire fatigue, preventing premature breakage and ensuring safety during high-speed rotation.

Precision Balance and Compatibility

One of the standout features of this Walter brush is its meticulous balancing. An unbalanced wheel on a bench grinder can cause excessive vibration, leading to poor finish quality, operator fatigue, and potential damage to the grinder's bearings. Walter ensures each wheel is balanced for smooth, concentric rotation. Furthermore, versatility is key in a workshop environment. This product comes complete with a set of nested reducer bushings, allowing the 6-inch wheel to be mounted securely on shafts ranging from 1/2 inch up to 1 inch. This universal compatibility makes it an excellent stock item for tool cribs serving multiple machine types.

Applications and Performance

This crimped wire wheel is the tool of choice for a variety of maintenance and fabrication tasks. It excels at removing surface contaminants such as rust, loose paint, scale, and corrosion without removing the base material. It is also highly effective for light deburring of machined parts and cleaning threads on bolts and pipes. The 3/4-inch face width provides a good contact area for efficiency while still allowing access to tighter profiles. Whether used in a heavy industrial setting or a precision machine shop, the Walter 13B065 delivers reliable performance for all general-purpose cleaning and surface preparation needs.
