OVERVIEW

Precision Balanced for Industrial Performance

The Walter 13B080 8" Bench Grinder Brush represents the gold standard in surface preparation and finishing for professional workshops. In an industrial setting, the reliability of your stationary machinery is paramount. One of the most common issues with standard wire brushes is poor balance, which leads to excessive vibration. This vibration not only accelerates wear on the bench grinder's bearings and shaft but also creates a safety hazard and operator fatigue. Walter Surface Technologies has addressed this by engineering a brush that is perfectly balanced, ensuring smooth action that protects your equipment and improves the quality of your work.

Manufactured from top-quality industrial wire, this brush is designed to withstand the rigors of daily use without premature fatigue or wire breakage. The high-density wire fill provides a consistent cutting action that is aggressive enough to strip away tough coatings but controlled enough for light deburring tasks. Whether you are refurbishing machine parts, cleaning threads, or preparing stock for machining, the longevity of this brush translates to lower consumable costs over time. It is an essential addition to any maintenance department or fabrication shop looking to maintain high standards of safety and efficiency.

The 13B080 is specifically optimized for common shop tasks such as removing old paint, stripping rust from steel components, and cleaning off surface corrosion. Its smooth operation allows the operator to maintain precise control over the workpiece, ensuring that the underlying base material is not gouged or damaged during the cleaning process. By investing in Walter's superior manufacturing quality, you ensure that your bench grinder remains a precision tool rather than a source of shop noise and vibration.

Key Industrial Benefits

  • Vibration Reduction: Superior balance protects machine bearings and reduces noise.
  • Extended Lifespan: High-quality wire resists fatigue and breakage longer than standard economy brushes.
  • Versatile Application: Equally effective on heavy rust and delicate deburring operations.

FAQ

The primary advantage is the perfect balance. Walter manufactures these brushes to strict tolerances to ensure smooth, vibration-free operation, which extends the life of your bench grinder and improves safety.

This brush is made with industrial steel wire. Using it on aluminum can cause cross-contamination (embedding steel particles into the aluminum), which may lead to rust issues later. It is recommended to use a stainless steel brush for aluminum.

Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses with side shields or a full face shield. Wire brushes can occasionally shed filaments, and a face shield provides the best protection against flying debris.

This brush is designed for cleaning (rust, paint, corrosion) and light deburring. It is not intended for heavy stock removal; a grinding stone or abrasive belt would be more appropriate for removing significant amounts of metal.

This is an 8-inch diameter brush. You must ensure your bench grinder is rated for 8-inch wheels and has adequate clearance. Check your machine's arbor size compatibility as well.

Avoid applying excessive pressure against the wire tips. Let the speed of the wire do the work. Pushing too hard bends the wires, causing fatigue and premature breakage.

The product is sold as a single unit. Please check the specific packaging or your machine's requirements, as arbor bushings are sometimes required depending on the shaft size of your specific bench grinder.

Yes, it is effective at removing slag and spatter from small welded parts that can be manipulated safely in front of a bench grinder.
