72735 WHEEL WIRE CRIMP CRS 3X012IN

Overview

The Forney Crimped Wire Wheel Brush (72735) is designed for surface preparation applications including rust and scale removal on metal workpieces.

Technical Features

• Crimped wire construction: The crimped wire configuration provides a flexible, controlled brushing action that conforms to irregular surface contours, reducing gouging on workpiece surfaces.
• 0.012 in. (0.305 mm) coarse wire diameter: Coarse wire gauge delivers aggressive material removal, making it effective for heavy rust, mill scale, and surface contamination.
• 3 in. (76.2 mm) wheel diameter: Mid-size diameter provides a practical working surface area suited for both flat panels and confined areas accessible by a rotary tool or drill.
• 1/4 in. (6.35 mm) hex shank: Hex shank geometry locks securely into hex-compatible chucks and quick-change driver systems, preventing slippage under load.
• Stem-mounted design: The integrated stem mount allows direct chuck installation in standard drills and rotary tools without requiring an arbor adapter.
• 6,000 RPM maximum rated speed: The stated speed rating provides a clear operational ceiling for safe use, ensuring compatibility with common variable-speed drills and rotary tools operating within that range.

Applications

• Removing rust and scale from metal surfaces prior to welding, painting, or coating.
• Surface preparation on fabricated steel, pipe, sheet metal, and structural components.
• Cleaning weld seams and removing spatter from metal workpieces.
• Deburring and light surface blending on metal parts accessible by a hand-held drill or rotary tool.
