OVERVIEW

High-Performance Stainless Steel Wire Wheel Brush

The Walter 13C178 is a premium-grade 4-inch wire wheel brush designed specifically for industrial applications involving stainless steel and aluminum. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this brush exemplifies the brand's commitment to quality, durability, and performance. The brush features high-quality stainless steel crimped wire, which is essential for preventing ferrous contamination on non-ferrous metals. Using a standard carbon steel brush on stainless steel can leave behind iron particles that eventually rust, ruining the finish and integrity of the workpiece. This product eliminates that risk, making it a staple for fabrication shops dealing with high-value alloys.

With a narrow 1/4-inch face width, this wheel brush is particularly effective for reaching into tight spaces, grooves, and corners that wider brushes cannot access. It is designed to be mounted on die grinders, power drills, or automated equipment using a compatible mandrel (sold separately). The precision balancing of the wheel ensures smooth, vibration-free rotation, which not only extends the life of the power tool but also reduces operator fatigue during prolonged use. The high wire density provides a consistent cutting action and a long service life, ensuring that the brush maintains its effectiveness even under rigorous industrial conditions.

This abrasive accessory is ideal for a variety of surface preparation and finishing tasks. It excels at removing discoloration from welds, cleaning metallic structures, and prepping surfaces for painting or coating. Whether used for maintenance, repair, or production, the Walter 13C178 delivers reliable results. Its robust construction ensures safety and efficiency, making it a preferred choice for professionals seeking top-tier abrasive solutions.

FAQ

No, the mandrel is sold separately. You will need a compatible mandrel to mount this wheel brush onto a die grinder or drill.

While it can physically clean carbon steel, it is recommended to reserve stainless steel brushes for stainless and aluminum work to prevent cross-contamination and waste the more expensive stainless wire.

It is designed for cleaning metallic structures, pipes, tubing, and railings, specifically on stainless steel and aluminum materials.

The brush has a diameter of 4 inches and a face width of 1/4 inch.

Stainless steel wire prevents 'after-rust' or contamination that occurs when carbon steel particles are embedded into stainless steel surfaces.

It is designed to integrate with die grinders, power drills, or automated equipment, provided the correct mounting hardware is used.

Yes, Walter brushes are manufactured to be perfectly balanced, ensuring vibration-free operation and reduced tool wear.
