13B260 - Walter 6-Inch Knot Twist Wire Wheel for Bench Grinders

Premium Industrial Wire Brush for Precision Surface Finishing

The Walter 13B260 6" Knot Twist Bench Grinding Brush is an exemplary tool designed for the rigorous demands of industrial metalworking environments. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, a leader in surface treatment solutions, this brush represents the intersection of durability and performance. At its core, the brush utilizes high-tensile industrial-grade steel wire, twisted into tight knots. This construction method significantly increases the stiffness and impact action of the wire tips, making it far more aggressive than standard crimped wire wheels. It is specifically calibrated for heavy-duty applications where surface contaminants such as thick rust, scale, and multiple layers of paint need to be removed efficiently without compromising the integrity of the base material.

One of the critical technical advantages of this specific model is its precision balancing. Improperly balanced wire wheels can cause severe vibration in bench grinders, leading to premature wear on the machine's bearings and creating a safety hazard for the operator. Walter ensures that every 13B260 unit is perfectly balanced for smooth, concentric rotation. This attention to detail results in a consistent finish, reduced operator fatigue, and a quieter working environment. The brush is designed to operate seamlessly on stationary bench and pedestal grinders, providing a stable platform for processing small to medium-sized components.

Versatility is a key component of the 13B260's design. Recognizing the variety of equipment found in modern workshops, Walter includes a set of reducer bushings with every unit. These bushings allow the brush to be securely mounted on shafts ranging from 1/2 inch to 1 inch (specifically 1", 3/4", 5/8", and 1/2"). This universal compatibility eliminates the need for purchasing machine-specific consumables, streamlining inventory management for procurement specialists. Whether utilized for deburring machined parts, cleaning castings, or preparing steel surfaces for welding, this knot twist brush delivers reliable, professional-grade results.
