Weiler 08106 Twist Wire Wheel Brush 6 in 9,000 RPM 5/8-11 Arbor

6-inch twist knot wire wheel

The Weiler 08106 is a 6-inch twist knot wire wheel brush designed for use with angle grinders. It features carbon steel bristles with a 0.023-inch diameter and a 1/2-inch face width for aggressive surface preparation. The brush mounts via a 5/8-11 threaded arbor for secure attachment. It is rated for a maximum operating speed of 9,000 RPM.

Replaces worn or smooth cup brushes

This twist knot wheel replaces cup brushes or worn wheels when a narrower face width and longer bristle length are needed for reaching into corners or cleaning weld seams. The knot construction delivers higher impact than crimped wire for heavy scale and slag removal. The upgrade is worth it when the workpiece requires a 1-3/8-inch trim length to access recessed areas.

Verify grinder spindle thread and speed

Before ordering, confirm the angle grinder has a 5/8-11 spindle thread to match the brush arbor. Ensure the tool’s maximum no-load speed does not exceed 9,000 RPM to operate within the brush’s safety rating. Check that the grinder guard can accommodate a 6-inch diameter wheel with a 1/2-inch face width.
