13B082 - Walter 13-B-082 8-Inch Crimped Wire Bench Grinder Wheel

Premium Industrial Wire Wheel for Bench Grinders

The Walter 13B082 8" x 1/2" Crimped Bench Wheel is an industrial-grade abrasive tool designed to deliver exceptional performance in surface preparation and finishing tasks. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, a leader in surface treatment solutions, this wire wheel is crafted from premium oil-hardened and tempered carbon steel wire. The high-quality wire composition ensures that the bristles maintain their stiffness and cutting action over a long service life, resisting fatigue and breakage even under continuous use.

One of the standout features of this bench wheel is its precision balance. Unlike inferior brushes that can cause severe vibration and "walking" of the bench grinder, the Walter 13B082 is calibrated for smooth, concentric rotation. This not only improves operator comfort and safety but also results in a more consistent finish on the metal surface. The crimped wire design provides a flexible brushing action, making it the ideal choice for general-purpose cleaning where surface impact needs to be controlled. It effectively removes surface contaminants without gouging the base material.

Versatility is key in a maintenance or fabrication shop, and this wheel addresses that with its included set of nested reducer bushings. Whether your bench grinder has a 1-inch, 3/4-inch, 5/8-inch, or 1/2-inch shaft, this wheel is ready to mount right out of the box. It is specifically suited for applications such as removing rust, stripping paint, cleaning off scale and corrosion, and light deburring of machined parts. When precision and durability are required for your stationary grinding operations, the Walter crimped bench wheel is the professional's choice.
