OVERVIEW

Eat Through Slag and Rust with the Weiler 13187

When you need to get down to bare metal fast, the Weiler 13187 3-inch Knot Wire Cup Brush is the tool you grab. This isn't your average hardware store brush that sheds wires the second it touches steel. Weiler has built this beast with heavy-duty .020" carbon steel wire twisted into tight knots, giving you the aggressive bite you need to rip through heavy slag, thick rust, and old paint without bogging down.

We know that vibration kills your hands after a long day of grinding. That's why the 13187 features a balanced solid ring construction that runs smooth and true on your angle grinder. It spins up to 14,000 RPM, letting you clean welds and prep surfaces in record time. The standard 5/8"-11 thread spins right onto your 4-1/2" or 5" grinder, locking on tight so you can put the pressure where it counts.

Perfect for pipeline work, structural fabrication, or just cleaning up a messy repair job, this knot cup brush is designed to last. The heat-treated wires resist bending and breaking, meaning you spend more time working and less time changing out worn brushes. If you're working on mild steel and need a serious cleaning tool, the Weiler 13187 is the industry standard for a reason.

FAQ

The Weiler 13187 features a standard 5/8"-11 UNC threaded nut, compatible with most 4-1/2" and 5" angle grinders.

No, you should not use this carbon steel brush on stainless steel as it can leave carbon deposits that lead to rust (after-rust). Use a stainless steel wire brush (like Weiler 13188) for stainless applications.

The maximum safe operating speed is 14,000 RPM. Always ensure your grinder's RPM does not exceed this rating.

Knot wire is twisted for more aggressive, high-impact cleaning and longer life. Crimped wire is more flexible and better for light cleaning or irregular surfaces.

Yes, absolutely. Always wear safety glasses with side shields or a face shield, gloves, and protective clothing. Wire filaments can break off during use.

The wire diameter is 0.020 inches, which is a heavy-duty gauge suitable for aggressive cleaning.

It is not recommended for aluminum due to potential contamination and the aggressive nature of the steel wire. Use a stainless or aluminum-specific brush.

Apply light pressure; let the wire tips do the work. Excessive pressure bends the wires and causes premature fatigue and breakage.
