OVERVIEW

Built for the Pipeline, Balanced for You

As a welder, you know that cleaning the root pass is just as important as laying the bead itself. The Walter Allsteel Stringer Bead Brush (13W761) is built to make that job easier, faster, and safer. When you are grinding out a wagon track or cleaning up a hot pass, you need a wheel that digs in without fighting you. This 6-7/8 inch brush features a tightly twisted knot design that holds its shape, giving you the aggression you need to rip out slag and silica islands from deep grooves without the wires flaring out prematurely.

Vibration is the enemy of a long shift. Cheap brushes wobble, shake your grinder, and leave your hands numb by lunch. Walter brushes are different—they are meticulously balanced to run smooth and true. This means you can work longer with less fatigue and better control over your grinder. The 5/8"-11 threaded hub spins right onto your grinder, locking down tight so you can get to work immediately. No fumbling with flange nuts or spacers. It is designed to fit perfectly into the narrow bevels of pipe joints, ensuring you get a clean, inclusion-free surface for your next pass.

Durability matters when you are out in the field. The Allsteel series uses high-quality carbon steel wire that resists snapping and wears down evenly. Whether you are prepping a bevel, cleaning a cap, or removing heavy rust, this brush stands up to the abuse. It is the kind of tool that earns its place in your bucket, delivering consistent performance from the first spark to the last wire. Don't settle for shakers and wobblers; equip your grinder with a Walter stringer bead brush and feel the difference in your daily grind.

The maximum safe operating speed for the 13W761 is 9,000 RPM. Always ensure your grinder's speed does not exceed this rating.

A balanced brush reduces vibration, which lowers operator fatigue, prevents premature wear on the grinder's bearings, and improves the safety and control of the tool.

The wire diameter is .020 inches, which provides a stiff and aggressive cutting action suitable for heavy-duty cleaning.
