CGW 60172 is a 3 inch diameter crimped wire wheel designed for heavy-duty metal surface preparation. Built with a 1/4 inch shank, this wheel features a .014 inch wire gauze that provides a balance of durability and flexibility for removing weld scale, rust, burrs, and other scale from flat surfaces or welds. The oil-drawn wire construction contributes to consistent performance under demanding cleaning and deburring tasks, making it suitable for applications in fabrication, maintenance, and metalworking where robust deburring and cleaning are required. The wheel operates at up to 12,500 RPM, which supports faster material removal while maintaining control and reducing heat buildup when used with compatible power tools.
The 3" wheel is crimped, a configuration that helps maintain wire projection and cutting action under load, improving aggressiveness on heavy-scale or welded joints. The wire grade and crimped construction are chosen to deliver effective scale removal and deburring without excessive wire pullout, provided the tool is used within the recommended RPM range and with proper safeguarding. This product is packaged in units of one wheel per package, with ten wheels typically supplied per box, aiding inventory management for ongoing maintenance or production needs. When selecting replacements, ensure the shank size matches your tool’s arbor, and operate within the tool’s rated speed to prevent premature wear or breakage.
