Wire Wheel Brush with Shank Irwin IW8088416, 75 mm diameter x 10 mm bore, stainless steel wire

Irwin wire wheel brush with shank IW8088416 is a 75 mm diameter rotary brush fitted with stainless steel wire and a 10 mm shank. It is designed for surface preparation and metal finishing tasks where controlled removal of rust, scale, paint residues and light burrs is required. The shank-mounted disc is compatible with drills and rotary tools that accept a 10 mm arbor, providing straightforward mounting for metalworking and maintenance applications.

Advantages

The stainless steel wire filaments resist corrosion and maintain brushing performance when working on stainless and other ferrous or non-ferrous metals. The 75 mm diameter offers a balance between access to tight areas and effective brushing surface, while the integrated 10 mm shank ensures stable connection to standard power drills. The brush construction provides consistent material removal with minimal vibration when used at recommended speeds.

Suitable for

• Removing rust, scale and oxidation from metal surfaces
• Deburring and edge blending after cutting or welding
• Surface preparation before welding, painting or coating
• Cleaning weld seams and removing paint or corrosion spots

Key specifications

• Brush type: wire wheel with shank
• Wire material: stainless steel
• Diameter: 75 mm
• Bore / shank diameter: 10 mm
• Mounting: shank for direct insertion into drill chuck or rotary tool

How to use

Secure the wire wheel brush by inserting the 10 mm shank into the drill chuck and tighten firmly. Select a moderate rotational speed appropriate for the wire grade and the workpiece material; avoid excessive speed to reduce risk of wire loss or damage to the work surface. Apply light to moderate pressure and move the brush progressively across the workpiece to achieve even material removal. Maintain steady hand control and avoid forcing the brush into the surface.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection, gloves and a dust mask. Inspect the brush before each use for damaged or missing wires and replace if necessary. For stainless steel workpieces, use the stainless steel wire brush to avoid contamination from other wire materials. Follow the power tool manufacturer’s speed and usage guidelines.
