Product Specification
1-1/2" X 1/4" SHAFT MOUNTED CRIMPED CUP - CARBON STEEL
For small parts, tight work areas, and localized cleanup where a full-size grinder cup is too large, the 1-1/2" x 1/4" Shaft Mounted Crimped Cup - Carbon Steel gives you compact, flexible cleaning in a drill- or rotary-tool-friendly format. Its carbon steel crimped wire is designed for light rust, oxidation, surface deposits, and general cleanup on compatible ferrous metals.
The crimped cup construction allows the wire to flex as it contacts the workpiece, helping the brush follow contours, edges, recesses, and smaller fabricated details more naturally than a stiff knotted brush. The cup shape still provides useful surface contact, making it a strong choice when you need controlled cleaning in a concentrated area.
A 1/4" straight shank fits compatible chuck- and collet-equipped rotary tools, while the compact 1-1/2" diameter makes the brush easy to maneuver around brackets, hardware, weldments, and smaller assemblies. With a 13,000 RPM maximum rating, it is built for localized cleaning and light deburring without the bulk of a threaded angle-grinder cup.

Applications & Performance
This shaft-mounted crimped cup is designed for localized cleaning and light deburring where control and access matter more than maximum surface coverage.
Common applications include:
- Light rust removal
- Oxidation cleanup
- Surface contamination removal
- Light deburring
- Cleaning brackets and hardware
- Cleaning smaller fabricated components
- Light weld-area cleanup
- Edge and corner cleaning
- Preparing localized areas before coating or repair
- Maintenance and repair work
The crimped wire flexes during use, helping the brush conform to the workpiece instead of concentrating all of its force into a rigid working edge.
Use light to moderate pressure and let the wire tips do the cleaning.
Materials
Recommended for cleaning and surface preparation on compatible ferrous materials, including:
- Carbon steel
- Mild steel
- Cast iron
- Wrought iron
- Other compatible ferrous metal surfaces
Keep carbon steel brushes dedicated to ferrous work when cross-contamination matters. For stainless-steel applications where iron contamination must be minimized, use a dedicated stainless steel wire brush.
Machine Compatibility
The 1/4" straight shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks, making this brush a convenient choice for cleaning and surface preparation with compatible corded and cordless drills. It can be secured 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 machines may be compatible. Confirm secure shank engagement and clearance for the working brush. Other rotary drills or brush-approved collet tools may be suitable when their accessory instructions, capacity and speed match. Do not use hammer or impact action.
Safety Tips
- Never exceed the brush's 13,000 RPM maximum speed.
- Use only with a machine that permits this type and diameter of wire brush.
- 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 brush 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.
- Follow all operating and safety instructions for both the power tool and wire brush.
