Angle grinder accessory AWTools AW55135, abrasive/polishing disc accessory, weight 280 g

AWTools AW55135 is an abrasive and polishing disc accessory for angle grinders, designed to perform surface grinding, smoothing and polishing tasks. The accessory features twisted steel wire bristles with high tensile strength and a bevel profile that enables access to flat, curved and uneven surfaces. The wire is fixed and reinforced by a powder-coated steel ring, and the accessory has a threaded mount compatible with 100, 115 and 125 mm angle grinders. Weighing approximately 280 g, this accessory is suitable for both DIY and professional applications where controlled material removal and surface preparation are required.

Advantages

The twisted steel wire construction provides a more aggressive cutting and cleaning action compared with crimped wire brushes, allowing faster removal of rust, paint and scale. The reinforced steel ring improves wire retention and durability during heavy-duty cleaning. The bevel shape of the brush allows effective contact on contoured or hard-to-reach areas while maintaining consistent performance on flat surfaces. The threaded mounting system ensures secure attachment to compatible angle grinders.

Suitable for

• Derusting metal surfaces
• Removing paint and coatings
• Deburring welds and cut edges
• Descaling and preparing surfaces for painting or finishing
• Heavy-duty surface cleaning and preparation

How to use

Attach the accessory to a compatible angle grinder using the threaded mount, ensuring the grinder is disconnected from power before fitting. Secure the accessory according to the grinder manufacturer's instructions and check that the brush is centered and tightened. Operate the grinder at the recommended speed for the accessory and workpiece material, applying steady, controlled pressure while moving across the surface to avoid gouging. Use short passes and maintain a consistent angle to achieve even material removal and surface preparation. After use, allow the accessory to stop naturally before handling and inspect for any wire loss or damage.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye and face protection, gloves and respiratory protection when removing rust, paint or scale. Avoid excessive pressure and prolonged dwell in one spot to reduce wire breakage and extend accessory life. For painted surfaces, test on a small area to assess finish quality and compatibility with surface coatings before full-scale use.
