13B075 - Walter 7-Inch Crimped Wire Bench Wheel Brush with Multi-Arbor Bushings

Technical Overview of the Walter 13B075 Wire Brush

The Walter 13B075 is a premium-grade industrial wire brush designed specifically for stationary bench and pedestal grinders. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this 7-inch diameter wheel features a 3/4-inch face width, providing an optimal contact area for general surface preparation tasks. The brush utilizes high-quality crimped steel wire, which is ideal for applications requiring moderate aggression without removing base material, such as light deburring, cleaning, and surface finishing.

A defining technical characteristic of this product is its precision balancing. Unlike lower-quality alternatives that may exhibit eccentricity or weight imbalances, every Walter wire wheel is meticulously balanced during manufacturing. This ensures concentric rotation, minimizing vibration transfer to the grinder shaft and bearings. Reduced vibration not only extends the lifespan of the machinery but also improves the consistency of the finish on the workpiece.

The mounting system is designed for universal compatibility. The wheel comes equipped with a set of nested reducer bushings that allow it to be mounted securely on shafts of varying diameters, including 1 inch, 3/4 inch, 5/8 inch, and 1/2 inch. This eliminates the need for separate adapters and ensures a tight, slip-free fit on the majority of standard industrial bench grinders. The wire density is calibrated to provide a long service life while maintaining flexibility, allowing the filaments to contour slightly to irregular surfaces during operation.

This brush is specifically formulated for use on steel and other ferrous metals. It is an essential consumable for MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) environments, fabrication shops, and tool rooms where efficient cleaning and surface restoration are required. The crimped wire design promotes a 'brushing' action rather than a cutting action, making it safe for cleaning threads, removing surface rust, and preparing metal for painting or welding.
