Shaft Mounted Crimped Wheels
Benchmark Abrasives' Shaft Mounted Crimped Wheels are versatile, light-duty wire brushes designed for cleaning, finishing, and surface prep tasks across metalworking, automotive, and electrical applications. Built for use with high-speed die grinders and compatible drills, these brushes deliver consistent, flexible brushing action for removing paint, rust, corrosion, and debris on a variety of surfaces.
These shaft mounted crimped wheels feature a permanently affixed shaft for secure mounting and optimal balance during high-RPM operation. While they can be installed on power drills, they’re most effective when used with die grinders due to the increased speed and torque, which maximize brushing performance.
