Select the Right Brush Wheel
                     SELECT THE RIGHT BRUSH 
WHEEL
Wheel Brush
Wheel brushes are wheel-shaped tools used 
for surface preparation and surface finishing. 
Their uses include parts, cleaning, polishing, 
edge blending, and deburring. It is a powder 
brush designed to be used under power, as an 
angle, bench, or pedestal grinder. 
HOW TO SELECT THE 
RIGHT BRUSH WHEEL?
Wire brushes are the perfect choice for removing rust, 
oxidations, weld slag, paint, weld spatter, and other 
unwanted surface contaminants without damaging any 
base material.
• The Wire Type.
• The Wire Diameter.
• The Filament Configuration.
• The Trim Length.
WIRE TYPE
The Wire brushes generally have straight wires, which results in 
a lack of the required degree of stiffness, and can quickly 
become bent in ways which reduced their effectiveness. So, it is 
essential to select a suitable wire type.
Crimped Brushes: Crimped brushes have zigzag pattern wires 
that bend along their length. It ensures that the wires remain 
adequately spaced out from each other to enable workers to get 
rid of the utmost amount of slag with minimum effort.
Twisted Wire: Knotted or twisted wire brushes tend to possess 
a way stiffer action than crimped brushes. It provides them with a 
hefty action.
WIRE DIAMETER
The diameter of the wires decides how quickly and 
aggressively it removes weld slag. The thicker the 
wires, the faster it'll remove the slag. Yet fabricators 
must consider quite just speed. Because a wire brush 
wheel may be a machine, it is often easy to use more 
friction than necessary to eliminate the slag.
In other words, welders must take care not to 
damage or irritate the bottom metal. It may 
ultimately increase the time interval by requiring that 
the abrasions be carefully smoothed out.
THE FILAMENT 
CONFIGURATION
Crimped Wire Brushes - Individual filaments are supported 
only by one another, creating extra flexibility. Ideal for work 
on irregular surfaces, more refined surface finishing, and 
light- to medium-duty contaminant removal.
Standard Twist Knot Wire Brushes - Made with straight 
wire filaments twisted together to form more rigid rope- or 
cable-like pieces—the selection for more aggressive 
applications requires higher-impact action and a rougher 
surface finish.
Stringer Bead Twist Knot Wire Brushes - Filaments are 
more tightly twisted to the top of the knot than plain twist knot 
brushes, creating a narrower face and highest-impact action. 
The selection for tough weld scale cleaning removes the 
bead scale at the initial joining.
THE TRIM LENGTH
Trim length equals the quantity of usable filament on 
your wire brush. To settle on the proper trim length, 
these best practices will be available in handy.
Irregular surface - choose longer trim lengths for more 
flexibility.
Server applications - choose shorter, more rigid trim 
lengths for faster action
