Walter 2-Inch Stainless Steel Mounted Wire Wheel Brush

Reliable Weld Cleaning and Surface Prep

For welders and metalworkers, the Walter 13C170 2" Mounted Wheel Brush is the go-to solution for cleaning up stainless steel and aluminum projects. We know that in a busy shop, you need consumables that last. This brush is built with top-quality stainless steel wire that stands up to tough use without shedding bristles prematurely. It is specifically designed to tackle the oxide layers on aluminum before welding and to clean up heat tint on stainless steel welds after the pass, ensuring your work meets the highest visual and structural standards.

The 2-inch size is perfect for getting into corners, cleaning inside pipes, or prepping surfaces around fixtures where a standard 4.5-inch grinder won't fit. Because it is a mounted brush, it is ready to be chucked into your die grinder or power drill, giving you immediate versatility without the need for complex setups. The stainless steel composition is non-negotiable for professional welding shops; using a standard steel brush on your stainless projects can embed iron particles that will rust later, ruining the finish. Stick with the 13C170 to keep your stainless truly stainless.

Walter Surface Technologies is known for manufacturing brushes that are perfectly balanced. This might seem like a small detail, but anyone who has used a cheap, wobbly brush at 20,000 RPM knows the difference. A balanced brush cuts smoother, jumps less, and lets you work longer without your hands going numb from vibration. Whether you are cleaning railings, deburring cut edges, or maintaining automated equipment, this brush provides the aggressive cleaning action you need with the control you want.
