Product Specification
1-1/2" MOUNTED CRIMPED WIRE WHEEL - STAINLESS STEEL
For tight-area stainless cleaning, light deburring, and detail work where a larger wire wheel is too bulky, the 1-1/2" Mounted Crimped Wire Wheel - Stainless Steel delivers flexible wire action in a compact shank-mounted format. Built with 0.008" stainless steel crimped wire, it is designed for controlled cleaning on small parts, edges, slots, fabricated details, and other localized areas.
The crimped wire construction flexes as it contacts the workpiece, providing a more conformable and less aggressive cleaning action than knotted wire. That makes it well suited for light rust, oxidation, deposits, surface contamination, and light burr removal without turning the job into heavy stock removal.
A 1-1/2" diameter, 1/4" straight shank, and 25,000 RPM maximum rating make this brush a versatile option for compatible rotary drills and other chuck- or collet-equipped tools. For stainless fabrication and contamination-sensitive work, keep the brush dedicated to stainless applications and store it separately from carbon-steel brushes.

Applications & Performance
The 1-1/2" mounted crimped wire wheel is designed for localized cleaning and light deburring where compact access and controlled wire action are more important than maximum aggression.
Common applications include:
- Light rust removal
- Oxidation cleanup
- Surface contamination removal
- Light deburring
- Edge cleanup
- Cleaning small fabricated parts
- Cleaning slots and narrow areas
- Weld-area touch-up
- Maintenance and repair work
- Detail cleaning on stainless components
- Preparing small areas before coating or finishing
The small wheel diameter allows the brush to reach areas that larger cup brushes and wire wheels cannot access as easily, while the fine crimped wire helps maintain a controlled brushing action.
Use light to moderate pressure and let the wire tips do the cleaning.
Materials
Especially suited for:
- Stainless steel
- Stainless steel weldments
- Stainless fabricated components
- Other compatible metals where stainless wire brushing is appropriate
Keep this brush dedicated to stainless steel work when preventing iron cross-contamination is important. A stainless brush previously used on carbon steel can pick up ferrous particles and transfer them back to stainless.
Store stainless and carbon steel brushes separately for contamination-sensitive applications.
Machine Compatibility
The 1/4" straight shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks, making this wire wheel a convenient choice for cleaning and surface preparation with compatible corded and cordless drills. It mounts directly in suitable 3/8" and 1/2" drill chucks without a separate arbor adapter.
Compatible examples include:
-
DEWALT® DWD110 — corded drill with a 3/8" chuck.
-
Milwaukee® 0240-20 — corded drill with a 3/8" chuck.
-
Makita® HP1640 — corded hammer drill with a 1/2" chuck; use rotation-only mode.
-
Bosch® GSR12V-300 — cordless drill/driver with a 3/8" chuck.
-
RYOBI® PCL206 — cordless drill/driver with a 1/2" chuck.
Other drills may also be suitable when their chucks securely grip the 1/4" straight shank and their accessory instructions permit this 1-1/2" wire wheel. Keep the tool’s maximum speed within the brush’s 25,000 RPM rating, maintain working clearance, and follow the required shank-insertion instructions. Use rotary drill mode with hammer action switched off.
Safety Tips
- Never exceed the brush's 25,000 RPM maximum speed.
- Confirm the machine permits use of this brush type and diameter.
- Insert and securely clamp the 1/4" shank to the depth specified by the tool and brush manufacturers; keep unsupported shank extension within their limits.
- Use in rotary mode only; do not use with impact operation.
- Inspect the brush before every use and replace it if damaged, excessively worn, loose, or distorted.
- Maintain adequate clearance around the rotating wheel and normal wire flare.
- Wear proper PPE, including eye and face protection, hearing protection, gloves, appropriate clothing, and respiratory protection when required.
- Keep bystanders away from the work area and direction of rotation.
- Use light to moderate pressure. Excessive force can flatten the crimped wire and accelerate wear.
- Allow the tool to reach operating speed before contacting the workpiece.
- Keep stainless brushes dedicated to stainless work when cross-contamination matters.
- Follow all operating and safety instructions for both the power tool and wire brush.
