OVERVIEW

Keep Your Stainless Welds Clean

When welding stainless steel, the finishing tools you use are just as important as your filler metal. The Pferd 80366 5-inch Crimped Stainless Steel Wire Brush is an essential accessory for any welder working with stainless alloys. Using a carbon steel brush on stainless steel can embed iron particles into the surface, leading to rust streaks later on. This brush is made with high-grade stainless steel wire to ensure your welds remain contaminant-free and corrosion-resistant.

Smooth Action for Superior Finishes

The crimped wire construction of this wheel brush offers a softer, more flexible brushing action compared to twisted knot wheels. This makes it the perfect choice for lighter cleaning tasks, such as removing heat tint (blueing) from TIG welds or cleaning up the heat-affected zone without gouging the base metal. The 5-inch diameter and 5/8-inch arbor make it compatible with many bench grinders, allowing you to bring small parts to the tool for quick cleaning. It is durable, balanced, and built to withstand the rigors of a busy welding shop.

Why Choose Crimped Wire?

  • Flexibility: The wires bend slightly to follow the contours of your workpiece, cleaning uneven surfaces effectively.
  • Finish Quality: Leaves a smoother, finer finish compared to the aggressive scratch pattern of knot wire brushes.
  • Safety: Pferd brushes are balanced to minimize vibration, making them safer and more comfortable to use.

FAQ

This wire brush features a 5/8-inch arbor hole, making it compatible with bench grinders and equipment requiring a 5/8" shaft.

Using a carbon steel brush on stainless steel can leave behind microscopic iron particles. These particles will rust, ruining the corrosion resistance and appearance of the stainless steel. Always use stainless brushes on stainless material.

This is a crimped wire brush, which is designed for light to medium cleaning and finishing. For heavy-duty scale or aggressive rust removal, a twisted knot wheel brush would be more appropriate.

Yes, stainless steel brushes can be used on aluminum to prevent contamination, although they are primarily intended for stainless steel. Ensure the brush has not been used on carbon steel previously.

It is designed for stationary machines like bench grinders or pedestal grinders that accept a 5-inch wheel with a 5/8-inch arbor.

Crimped wire is wavy and flexible, ideal for light cleaning and surface finishing. Knot wire is twisted into tight cables for aggressive impact and heavy material removal.

This specific SKU is typically sold as the wheel only with a 5/8" arbor. Check your machine's shaft size to ensure compatibility.
