Wire Wheel Brush 50mm X 6mm Shaft

Features

• Crimped wire design ensures flexibility and reduced wire breakage.
• Universal 6mm shaft fits standard power drill chucks.
• Reduced sparking vs. plain steel wire.
• Brass-plated steel wire for improved durability and corrosion resistance.
• Balanced construction for reduced vibration.

Benefits

• Efficient rust and paint removal on small parts: quickly strips old coatings, corrosion or oxidation from metal surfaces without needing large abrasive wheels.
• Access to confined or awkward spaces: small size and shaft-mount design allow cleaning inside brackets, castings, weld seams, tight recesses and irregular shapes.
• Balance between coverage and control: the 50 mm wheel covers enough surface area for small- to medium-sized components while remaining manageable for detail work or careful prep.
• Versatile workshop tool: suitable for maintenance, metalwork restoration, part cleanup, prep for welding, coating or painting, and general fabrication tasks on small components.

Extra Information

• Best used on steel and other hard metals — avoid use on soft or delicate metals where heavy wire brushing may cause visible scratch marks or damage.
• Use a variable-speed drill and moderate pressure for better control and to avoid overheating or surface damage. For heavy rust or thick coatings, multiple light passes are preferable to aggressive pressure.
• After brushing, clean away metal dust and debris thoroughly before painting, coating or welding to ensure proper adhesion and finish quality.

Safety

• Wear eye, ear and dust protection — wire brushing can generate metal dust, rust particles and loose bristles which may become airborne.
• Use gloves and protective clothing to guard against sharp fragments or metal shards during brushing.
• Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped or held before use to avoid slippage or accidental contact. Avoid holding small components by hand if possible.
• Inspect the brush before each use — if wires are bent, loose or damaged, discard the brush to avoid unsafe operation or uneven cleaning.
• Operate drill at moderate speed and apply light to moderate pressure — let the brush do the work to avoid surface damage or premature wear.
