Description
SGS Professional 175mm Soft Wheel Wire Brush (Model SGS797)
Bring dull, rusted, or painted metal components back to life with the SGS Professional 175mm Soft Wheel Wire Brush. A highly popular workshop addition in the Afrogulf hardware catalog, this large 7-inch wire wheel is designed to mount onto standard bench grinders. It provides mechanics, machinists, and fabricators with a stationary, high-speed cleaning station that makes quick work of surface preparation, deburring, and metal polishing.
Unlike aggressive twisted-knot brushes that can easily chew into softer metals, this model utilizes tightly packed, crimped wire. This “soft” construction provides a flexible, forgiving brushing action that sweeps away surface contaminants rather than cutting into them. The circular wheel profile is perfect for working on awkwardly shaped objects, blending sharp cut edges, and safely clearing dirt, rust, and old thread-locker out of bolts and fasteners. It leaves behind a smooth, exceptionally clean finish while preserving the exact dimensions and structural integrity of your workpiece.
Key Features & Specifications:
-
Large 175mm (7″) Diameter: The wide wheel diameter provides excellent surface speed and coverage, making it ideal for standard bench grinder setups.
-
Soft Crimped Wire: Delivers a flexible, sweeping action that effectively removes paint and light rust without damaging or thinning the base metal.
-
Consistent Wear & Balance: High-density wire construction ensures even wear, maintaining the wheel’s balance to prevent dangerous vibrations during high-speed rotation.
-
Precision Cleaning: The narrow wheel profile easily reaches into grooves, channels, and threads that wider cup brushes cannot access.
-
Professional Finish: Leaves a smooth, polished surface that is perfectly primed for painting, coating, or welding.
Applications: Highly recommended for bench-mounted rust and paint removal, deburring freshly machined metal, cleaning threads on bolts and pipes, blending sharp edges, and polishing automotive components.
