Weiler Coarse Crimped Wire Wheel Brush 5X887A (Model 01175)

The Weiler Coarse Crimped Wire Wheel Brush 5X887A (Model 01175) is a high-performance abrasive tool designed for light-duty cleaning, deburring, and surface preparation tasks in industrial and maintenance applications. Featuring crimped carbon steel wires with a 0.0118-inch diameter, this 6-inch wheel provides flexible brushing action for removing rust, paint, scale, and corrosion without aggressive material removal. Its narrow 3/4-inch face width allows access to tight spaces, making it ideal for use on bench grinders or portable tools in metalworking, welding, and fabrication shops. Key benefits include even wear, reduced operator fatigue due to balanced design, and compatibility with reducible arbor holes (5/8-inch to 1/2-inch) for versatile mounting. Compared to knotted wire wheels, it offers gentler action with less risk of surface gouging, though it may wear faster in heavy-duty scenarios. The brush is new in original packaging, as evidenced by attached images showing an unopened box with safety instructions. Maximum RPM of 6000 ensures safe operation. For detailed specs, refer to Weiler's official datasheet (available at weilerabrasives.com/products/01175). Estimated market value is based on new condition and comparable online listings.
