Milwaukee 48-52-1740 8-Inch Crimped Wire Wheel Brush

The Milwaukee 48-52-1740 is an 8-inch crimped wire wheel designed for general purpose surface cleaning and finishing applications with bench grinders and compatible power tools. This professional-grade wire wheel features fine 0.008-gauge crimped wire construction that delivers effective cleaning performance while producing a smoother, finer finish compared to knotted wire wheels.

Key Features:

• 8-inch diameter wheel for extended reach and larger work surfaces
• 0.008-gauge fine wire for smooth finishing and light to medium-duty cleaning
• Crimped wire design provides flexibility to access crevices and contoured surfaces
• Carbon steel wire construction for durability and effective material removal
• 5/8-inch arbor hole for compatibility with standard bench grinders
• Ideal for cleaning rust, scale, paint, and surface oxidation

Crimped wire wheels are well-suited for surface preparation, removing light rust and corrosion, cleaning welds, and general finishing work on metal surfaces. The crimped wire style is less aggressive than knotted wire wheels, making it ideal for applications requiring a finer finish without heavy gouging. Compatible with Milwaukee and competitive bench grinders equipped with 5/8-inch arbors.
