OVERVIEW

Premium Surface Finishing with Walter Wire Brushes

The Walter Surface Technologies 13-D-304 Mounted Wire Wheel Brush is a top-tier abrasive tool designed for precision cleaning, deburring, and surface preparation. Engineered with the professional in mind, this 3-inch diameter brush features high-grade, oil-hardened, and tempered carbon steel wires. This premium material selection ensures that each wire retains its shape and cutting ability over a longer service life compared to standard consumer-grade brushes. The crimped wire configuration offers the perfect balance of flexibility and aggression, making it ideal for light-to-medium duty applications where preserving the base material's integrity is crucial.

One of the standout features of Walter's mounted brushes is their exceptional balance. Each unit is precision-balanced to run smoothly at high speeds, specifically rated up to 25,000 RPM. This reduction in vibration not only protects the bearings of your power tools—such as die grinders and drills—but also significantly reduces operator fatigue during extended use. The 1/4-inch shaft provides a secure and universal fit for most industrial rotary tools, ensuring safety and stability during operation.

Whether you are removing rust, stripping paint, or cleaning up weld discoloration, the Walter 13-D-304 delivers consistent performance. Its compact 3-inch size allows for effective cleaning in confined spaces and on irregular surfaces that larger wheels cannot reach. By choosing Walter, you are investing in safety, efficiency, and a superior finish for all your metalworking projects.

FAQ

The Walter 13-D-304 is rated for a maximum speed of 25,000 RPM. Always ensure your tool does not exceed this rating.

No, this brush uses carbon steel wire. Using it on stainless steel can cause 'after-rust' or contamination. For stainless steel, use a stainless steel wire brush (typically marked with a blue label or 'Inox').

It features a standard 1/4-inch shaft, making it compatible with most die grinders, electric power drills, and pneumatic rotary tools.

Crimped wire is flexible and ideal for light to medium cleaning and surface finishing. Knotted wire is more rigid and aggressive, better suited for heavy slag removal and severe cleaning.

Yes, absolutely. Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses or a face shield, as well as protective gloves and clothing, as wires can occasionally detach during use.

The wire diameter is 0.0118 inches, which is a standard gauge for general-purpose cleaning and deburring.

It can remove light scale, but for heavy mill scale, a knotted wire wheel or a grinding disc might be more efficient.

Use the lightest pressure necessary to do the work. Excessive pressure bends the wires and causes fatigue, leading to premature breakage.
