OVERVIEW

Precision Cleaning for Industrial Fabrication

The Walter Allsteel 13W761 Stringer Bead Wire Wheel Brush is an essential abrasive tool designed for heavy-duty industrial applications. Engineered specifically for the demands of the pipeline and metal fabrication industries, this brush features a 6-7/8 inch diameter and a narrow 1/4-inch face width. This specific geometry allows the brush to penetrate deep into weld roots, V-grooves, and tight corners that standard wire wheels cannot reach. Manufactured with premium carbon steel wire, the Allsteel series is optimized for use on steel workpieces, delivering aggressive material removal while maintaining structural integrity.

Technical reliability is a hallmark of Walter Surface Technologies. The 13W761 is constructed with a high knot count (56 knots) and .020" wire, ensuring a dense and rigid brushing face that withstands the heat and pressure of aggressive cleaning. The integrated 5/8"-11 threaded arbor simplifies the attachment process, allowing for direct mounting onto standard angle grinders without the need for separate adapters or nuts. Rated for a maximum speed of 9,000 RPM, this brush provides the rotational velocity necessary to effectively remove slag, spatter, rust, and scale from steel surfaces.

Safety and longevity are critical in MRO environments. Walter's manufacturing process ensures that every wire wheel is perfectly balanced. This balance minimizes run-out and vibration, which protects the power tool's bearings and reduces the risk of wire fatigue and breakage. For procurement specialists seeking a reliable, high-performance solution for weld cleaning and surface preparation, the Walter Allsteel Stringer Bead Brush represents a top-tier choice that balances cost-efficiency with industrial-grade durability.

FAQ

Stringer bead brushes are specifically designed with a narrow face and tight twist knots to clean weld roots, stringer beads, and narrow grooves in pipe welding and fabrication.

This wire wheel comes with a built-in 5/8"-11 threaded arbor, which is the standard spindle size for most 4.5-inch to 7-inch angle grinders in North America.

No, this brush uses carbon steel wire. Using it on stainless steel can cause cross-contamination and lead to rust. For stainless steel, you should use a stainless steel (INOX) wire brush.

The maximum safe operating speed for the 13W761 is 9,000 RPM. Always ensure your grinder's speed does not exceed this rating.

A balanced brush reduces vibration, which lowers operator fatigue, prevents premature wear on the grinder's bearings, and improves the safety and control of the tool.

The wire diameter is .020 inches, which provides a stiff and aggressive cutting action suitable for heavy-duty cleaning.

Yes, absolutely. Always wear a face shield, safety glasses, heavy gloves, and protective clothing (leathers), as wire brushes can shed bristles at high speeds.

The Walter 13W761 features 56 individual twist knots, providing a dense and durable brushing face.
