Wire & Nylon Cup & Wheel Brushes

Wire brushes remove rust, scale and old paint from metal surfaces.  Cup brushes clean large flat areas, while wheel brushes fit angle grinders and drills for cleaning pipes, threads and welds.  Choose between crimped and knotted wire depending on the aggressiveness required.

What are wire and nylon brushes used for?
These brushes are designed for cleaning, surface preparation, deburring, rust and paint removal, and finishing work on metal, wood, plastic, and composites. Wire brushes are typically used for more aggressive tasks on hard materials, while nylon brushes are suited for lighter-duty cleaning or where surface damage must be avoided.

What’s the difference between wire and nylon brushes, and when should I use each?

  • Wire brushes (steel, stainless, or brass) are best for heavy-duty tasks like removing weld spatter, corrosion, or paint from metal

  • Nylon brushes are impregnated with abrasive grit and flex slightly during use, making them ideal for delicate cleaning, polishing, and contouring without gouging the surface
    Use wire brushes for aggressive material removal and nylon brushes for controlled, low-abrasion cleaning or finishing.

How do I choose the right brush type and shape for my application?

  • Brush shape:

    • Cup brushes cover wide, flat surfaces

    • Wheel brushes are ideal for edges, grooves, and weld seams

  • Wire type:

    • Crimped wire for lighter cleaning

    • Knotted wire for heavy-duty work

    • Brass or stainless wire for non-sparking or rust-sensitive surfaces

  • Nylon grit level: Coarser grit for deeper cleaning, finer grit for polishing

  • Tool compatibility: Match arbor or shank size to your angle grinder, drill, or bench grinder, and always observe the maximum rated RPM
    Use appropriate safety gear, especially eye and face protection, when working with any rotating brushes.
