Conical Wheel Brush 75 mm, Polax — braided steel bristles, on spindle

The Conical Wheel Brush 75 mm from Polax is a spindle-mounted brush with braided steel bristles designed for aggressive surface preparation tasks on metal and other hard materials. Its conical profile allows access into corners, profiles and recessed areas while the braided-wire construction provides uniform stiffness and high material-removal performance. The brush is compatible with hand-held and bench grinders equipped to accept spindle-mounted accessories, offering controlled brushing for deburring, rust and scale removal, weld cleaning and paint or coating prep.

Advantages

The braided steel bristles provide long life and consistent cutting action with reduced vibration compared to loose-wire brushes. The conical geometry improves access to tight spots and edges without sacrificing stability during operation. Mounted on a spindle, the brush delivers secure attachment and concentric running suitable for moderate to heavy-duty cleaning and surface-finishing tasks. The construction balances aggressiveness and brush integrity to minimize wire loss while maintaining efficient material removal.

Suitable for

• Deburring edges and removing burrs from machined parts
• Removing rust, scale and oxidation from metal surfaces
• Cleaning welds and preparing joints for inspection or coating
• Surface preparation before painting, plating or adhesive bonding
• Accessing profiles, corners and recessed areas on metal components

Key specifications

• Brush shape: conical wheel (tapered profile) with spindle mount
• Brush diameter: 75 mm
• Bristle material: braided steel wire for aggressive cleaning
• Mounting type: spindle-mounted for use with compatible grinders
• Intended materials: steel, iron, stainless steel (for light surface prep), and other hard substrates
• Typical applications: deburring, rust and scale removal, weld cleaning, surface preparation

How to use

Install the conical wheel brush on a grinder spindle following the machine manufacturer’s instructions and ensure the spindle lock and fastening nut are secure. Select an appropriate rotational speed within the brush’s rated range and wear suitable personal protective equipment, including eye protection, gloves and hearing protection. Hold the grinder with a firm, steady grip and apply the brush to the workpiece with light, even pressure; avoid forcing the brush into the material to reduce wire breakage and maintain concentric running. Move the brush along the surface to achieve uniform removal and check the workpiece frequently to prevent overworking the area.

Usage recommendations

Use the conical wheel brush for targeted cleaning where access is limited; start with moderate speed and light pressure, increasing only as needed. Replace the brush if excessive wire loss, imbalance or damage occurs. For stainless steel surfaces, use a brush specifically specified for stainless applications to avoid contamination. Store the brush in a dry area to prevent corrosion of the steel bristles.
