09C175 - Walter 3-Inch Mounted Stainless Steel Wire Wheel Brush

Precision Surface Finishing with Walter Mounted Wire Brushes

The Walter 09C175 is a high-performance 3-inch mounted wire wheel brush designed specifically for use on stainless steel and aluminum surfaces. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, a leader in industrial abrasives, this brush features premium 304 stainless steel wire. This material selection is critical for applications requiring strict adherence to passivation standards, as it prevents the introduction of free iron contaminants that can lead to rust and corrosion on the finished workpiece. The brush is constructed with crimped wires, which offer a degree of flexibility ideal for light cleaning, deburring, and surface blending operations where preserving the base material's geometry is essential.

Designed for compatibility with pneumatic and electric die grinders, the 09C175 features a permanently mounted 1/4-inch steel shaft. This shaft is precision-centered to ensure optimal balance during high-speed rotation, rated for up to 25,000 RPM. A balanced brush significantly reduces vibration, protecting both the power tool's bearings and the operator from hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) during extended use. The 3-inch diameter allows for effective coverage in confined spaces, such as the internal diameters of pipes, tubing, and machined cavities, making it an indispensable tool for MRO professionals and fabricators.

Durability is a hallmark of Walter's wire brush line. The high-density wire fill ensures that fresh cutting edges are continuously available, maintaining consistent performance throughout the brush's life. Whether used for removing heat discoloration from TIG welds, cleaning oxides before welding, or general surface preparation, the Walter 09C175 delivers reliable, contamination-free results. It is an essential consumable for industries ranging from food and beverage equipment manufacturing to pharmaceutical and aerospace fabrication.
