Product Specification
1-1/2" X 1/4" SHAFT MOUNTED CRIMPED CUP - STAINLESS STEEL
For stainless 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 - Stainless Steel delivers compact, flexible brushing in a drill- and rotary-tool-friendly format. Its stainless steel crimped wire is designed for light rust, oxidation, surface deposits, and general cleanup while helping shops maintain dedicated stainless tooling.
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, giving you controlled cleaning without sacrificing access.
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 stainless assemblies. With a 13,000 RPM maximum rating, it is built for localized cleaning and light deburring where precision and control matter.

Applications & Performance
This shaft-mounted crimped cup is designed for localized cleaning and light deburring where control, access, and surface conformity matter.
Common applications include:
- Light rust removal
- Oxidation cleanup
- Surface contamination removal
- Light deburring
- Cleaning stainless brackets and hardware
- Cleaning smaller fabricated components
- Light weld-area cleanup
- Edge and corner cleaning
- Preparing localized areas before coating or finishing
- Maintenance and repair work
The crimped wire flexes during use, helping the brush conform to the workpiece instead of concentrating all of its cleaning action into a rigid working edge.
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 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.
- 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.
