OVERVIEW

Precision Cleaning for Stainless Steel and Aluminum

The Walter 13C078 3/4-inch Conical Crimped Wire Brush is an industrial-grade abrasive tool designed for professionals who demand precision and longevity. Engineered specifically for use on stainless steel and aluminum, this brush utilizes high-quality stainless steel wire bristles. This material selection is critical for preventing cross-contamination, which can lead to rust and corrosion on non-ferrous metals. Whether you are working in food processing equipment fabrication, architectural metalwork, or general industrial maintenance, this brush ensures your surfaces remain pure and clean.

Versatile Conical Design

One of the standout features of this brush is its conical shape. Unlike standard flat wire wheels or cup brushes, the conical profile allows the tool to penetrate tight corners, internal pipe diameters, and complex geometries that are often difficult to reach. The crimped wire configuration adds a layer of flexibility to the brushing action. Instead of the aggressive cutting action associated with knot-twisted brushes, these crimped wires conform to the surface, providing a consistent cleaning action that removes surface contaminants, discoloration, and light burrs without altering the base material's dimensions significantly.

Durability and Balance

Walter Surface Technologies is renowned for manufacturing tools that prioritize operator safety and comfort. This wire brush is precision-balanced to run smoothly on high-speed tools like die grinders and power drills. Reduced vibration means less operator fatigue during extended use and ensures the brush wears evenly over its lifespan. The robust construction ensures that wires remain intact even under the stress of rotational forces, providing a safe and reliable solution for surface preparation and finishing tasks.

Ideal Applications

This brush is particularly effective for cleaning metallic structures, polishing tubing and railings, and general surface maintenance. It excels in removing heat tint from welds on stainless steel or cleaning oxidation from aluminum components. Please verify the mounting requirements for your specific tool, as mandrels may be required for certain setups. With its combination of flexibility, reach, and material compatibility, the Walter 13C078 is an essential addition to any metalworker's abrasive toolkit.

FAQ

The conical shape allows the brush to reach into tight corners, angles, and inside pipes or tubing that flat or cup brushes cannot access easily.

Using a stainless steel brush prevents contamination. Carbon steel brushes can leave iron particles embedded in aluminum, which leads to galvanic corrosion and rust spots.

Yes, this brush can be used with power drills, provided you have the appropriate mandrel or chuck capacity to hold it securely.

Crimped wire is flexible and less aggressive, making it ideal for light cleaning and surface finishing. Knotted wire is stiffer and used for heavy-duty material removal.

Please check the specific mounting style of your tool. While many mounted brushes have permanently attached shanks, some descriptions indicate mandrels are sold separately for specific wheel types.

Yes, it will work on carbon steel, but it is not recommended if you plan to use the same brush on stainless steel later, as it will transfer contaminants.

Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses or a face shield, protective gloves, and appropriate clothing to protect against flying debris and loose wires.

This specific brush has a diameter of 3/4 inch, making it suitable for precision work and small areas.
