OVERVIEW

Precision Cleaning for Industrial Applications

The Walter 09C160 Mounted Wheel Brush is a premium abrasive tool designed for the rigorous demands of industrial maintenance and fabrication. Manufactured by Walter Surface Technologies, a leader in surface treatment solutions, this brush is engineered to deliver consistent performance and extended service life. The key to its effectiveness lies in the high-quality stainless steel wire used in its construction. Unlike standard carbon steel brushes, this stainless steel variant is essential for working on stainless steel parts, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals to prevent the risk of after-rust and cross-contamination.

With a compact diameter of 1-3/8 inches, this wheel brush is specifically sized to navigate the complex geometries often found in machinery, piping, and structural components. It excels in confined spaces where larger angle grinder brushes cannot reach. The crimped wire design provides a degree of flexibility, allowing the brush to conform slightly to irregular surfaces while still providing aggressive enough action to remove light scale, oxidation, and surface contaminants. This makes it an indispensable tool for MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) professionals who require precision and reliability.

Safety and balance are paramount in the design of Walter's mounted brushes. The 09C160 features a permanently attached 1/4-inch shaft that is precisely centered to ensure smooth, vibration-free operation even at high rotational speeds. This balance not only reduces operator fatigue during extended use but also protects the bearings of the power tool—typically a die grinder or high-speed drill—from premature wear. Whether used for cleaning mold dies, deburring machined parts, or general surface preparation, this Walter mounted brush delivers the professional results expected in high-stakes industrial environments.

Key Industrial Benefits:

  • Contamination Control: 304 stainless steel wire ensures the integrity of corrosion-resistant surfaces.
  • Vibration Reduction: Precision-balanced shaft minimizes tool wear and operator strain.
  • Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of tasks from deburring to finishing.

FAQ

The brush features a standard 1/4-inch diameter shaft, making it compatible with most die grinders and power drills.

Yes, you can use it on carbon steel, but it is not recommended if you plan to use the same brush on stainless steel later. Using it on carbon steel will contaminate the brush with iron particles, which can then cause rust on stainless steel surfaces.

The Walter 09C160 is typically rated for speeds up to 25,000 RPM. Always check the actual product label for the specific safety rating before use.

Stainless steel brushes are essential when working on stainless steel or aluminum to prevent 'after-rust.' Carbon steel brushes leave behind iron deposits that will rust and ruin the corrosion resistance of the workpiece.

This model features crimped wire, which provides flexibility for light to medium duty cleaning and finishing, rather than the aggressive impact of knotted wire.

The brush head has a diameter of 1-3/8 inches, designed for accessing small and confined spaces.

No, this is a mounted brush with a shaft designed for die grinders or drills. It does not have a threaded arbor for angle grinders.

Yes, stainless steel brushes are safe to use on aluminum as they do not leave rust-prone contaminants behind.
