FAQs
Will this fit all 115mm angle grinders?
This brush features an M14 thread, which is the standard size for the vast majority of 115mm and 125mm angle grinders sold in the UK and Europe.
Can I use this for polishing stainless steel?
No, this is a coarse, heavy-duty brush. It will leave deep scratches in stainless steel. It is meant for removal and prep, not finishing.
Is it normal for the brush to shed wires?
Yes, some shedding is normal during the 'break-in' period, especially when applying pressure. Always wear safety glasses.
What is the maximum RPM for this wheel?
Always adhere to the speed limits specified on your specific angle grinder model, and never exceed the max RPM rating stamped on the wheel.
Can I use this to remove wood?
No, this is a steel wire brush designed exclusively for metal. It may damage wood surfaces or cause splinters.
Troubleshooting
Brush vibrating excessively
Ensure the wheel is threaded fully onto the spindle and centered correctly.
Wires breaking off during operation
Reduce the amount of pressure applied to the surface and ensure you are not hitting sharp edges at high speeds.
Difficulty removing from the grinder
Use the grinder's spindle lock and a pin wrench; if seized, a light tap on the wrench handle may help loosen the thread.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely aggressive removal of heavy rust and paint
- Easy to install on standard M14 spindle grinders
- Durable design holds up under high-speed rotation
- Compact size is perfect for tight corners and edges
Cons
- Not suitable for use on soft metals or thin sheet metal
- Requires significant user control due to aggressive vibration
- Wire shedding can occur during initial use
- Not intended for polishing or decorative finishing
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your angle grinder is unplugged. Press the spindle lock button on your grinder, thread the TE242 onto the M14 spindle, and tighten firmly using the provided pin wrench—do not overtighten.
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including impact-resistant eye protection, gloves, and a dust mask, as wire wheels can throw debris at high speeds. After use, inspect the bristles for excessive wear or breakage. Store in a dry environment to prevent the steel wires from rusting while in storage.
