SELECT THE RIGHT BRUSH WHEEL

Wheel Brush
Wheel brushes are wheel-shaped tools used for
surface preparation and surface finishing. Their
uses include parts, cleaning, polishing, edge
blending, and deburring. It is a powder brush
designed to be used under power, as an angle,
bench, or pedestal grinder.

HOW TO SELECT THE RIGHT BRUSH WHEEL?
Wire brushes are the perfect choice for removing
rust, oxidations, weld slag, paint, weld spatter,
and other unwanted surface contaminants without
damaging any base material.

• The Wire Type.
• The Wire Diameter.
• The Filament Configuration.
• The Trim Length.

WIRE TYPE
The Wire brushes generally have straight wires,
which results in a lack of the required degree of
stiffness, and can quickly become bent in ways
which reduced their effectiveness. So, it is
essential to select a suitable wire type.
Crimped Brushes Crimped brushes have zigzag
pattern wires that bend along their length. It
ensures that the wires remain adequately spaced
out from each other to enable workers to get rid
of the utmost amount of slag with minimum effort.
Twisted Wire Knotted or twisted wire brushes
tend to possess a way stiffer action than crimped
brushes. It provides them with a hefty action.

WIRE DIAMETER
The diameter of the wires decides how quickly and
aggressively it removes weld slag. The thicker
the wires, the faster it'll remove the slag. Yet
fabricators must consider quite just speed.
Because a wire brush wheel may be a machine, it
is often easy to use more friction than necessary
to eliminate the slag.
In other words, welders must take care not to
damage or irritate the bottom metal. It may
ultimately increase the time interval by
requiring that the abrasions be carefully
smoothed out.

THE FILAMENT CONFIGURATION
Crimped Wire Brushes - Individual filaments are
supported only by one another, creating extra
flexibility. Ideal for work on irregular
surfaces, more refined surface finishing, and
light- to medium-duty contaminant removal.
Standard Twist Knot Wire Brushes - Made with
straight wire filaments twisted together to form
more rigid rope- or cable-like piecesthe
selection for more aggressive applications
requires higher-impact action and a rougher
surface finish.
Stringer Bead Twist Knot Wire Brushes - Filaments
are more tightly twisted to the top of the knot
than plain twist knot brushes, creating a
narrower face and highest-impact action. The
selection for tough weld scale cleaning removes
the bead scale at the initial joining.
7
THE TRIM LENGTH
Trim length equals the quantity of usable
filament on your wire brush. To settle on the
proper trim length, these best practices will be
available in handy.
Irregular surface - choose longer trim lengths
for more flexibility.
Server applications - choose shorter, more rigid
trim lengths for faster action
