Wire cup brush MODECO MN-69-172 with 1/4" shank, 65 mm diameter, steel bristles

MODECO MN-69-172 is a 65 mm wire cup brush with a 1/4" (6.35 mm) shank designed for use with drills and rotary tools. Fitted with steel bristles, this cup brush is intended for surface preparation tasks such as removing rust, paint and scale, deburring welded joints and cleaning metal components. Its compact diameter and standard shank make it compatible with a wide range of hand and bench drills for light to medium abrasive work in workshop maintenance.

Advantages

The steel bristles provide durable abrasion for effective removal of corrosion and coatings while maintaining brush shape during typical workshop use. A 65 mm diameter offers a balance between reach and control, allowing precise work on edges and flat surfaces. The 1/4" shank ensures straightforward mounting in most drill chucks and rotary tool adapters, reducing setup time and increasing tool versatility.

How to use

Install the wire cup brush into a compatible drill or rotary tool chuck, ensuring the 1/4" shank is securely tightened. Operate the tool at the manufacturer-recommended speed for wire brushes, applying light, even pressure and moving the brush across the surface to be cleaned. Avoid excessive force or side-loading that could deform the bristles or damage the workpiece. Periodically inspect the brush for wear and replace it when bristles are significantly worn or bent.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety goggles, gloves and a dust mask when working with wire brushes. For painted surfaces, test on a small area to verify finish compatibility. Avoid using the brush on soft or highly polished surfaces where scratching may occur. Store the brush in a dry place to prevent premature corrosion of the steel bristles.
