Wire Wheels & Brush Cups

Wire wheels and wire cups are versatile accessories for power tools, designed for surface preparation, cleaning, and finishing tasks on various materials. Ohio Power Tool offers a range of these wire brushes, each tailored for specific applications and materials. Wire wheels, featuring radially arranged wires, are commonly used for cleaning rust, paint, and corrosion from metal surfaces, polishing metal parts, deburring edges, and preparing metal surfaces for painting or welding. Available in different wire gauges and densities, they can be fitted on bench grinders, angle grinders, and drills, making them adaptable for both large-scale surface preparation and precise cleaning tasks. The flexibility of the wire strands allows for effective cleaning action even on irregular surfaces and in tight spaces, making wire wheels an essential tool for restoration projects, metal fabrication, and automotive repair. Wire cup brushes, on the other hand, are designed with wires forming a cup shape and are particularly effective for aggressive cleaning and surface preparation tasks in confined areas. They are ideal for removing heavy rust, scale, and paint, as well as for cleaning weld seams and splatter. The design of the wire cup brush offers a concentrated, aggressive action that makes it suitable for tough jobs on flat surfaces or in corners where precision is needed. Fitted to angle grinders, these brushes are commonly used in metalworking shops, construction sites, and by maintenance departments for heavy-duty cleaning and preparation tasks. Choosing between a wire wheel and a wire cup brush depends on the specific requirements of the project. Wire wheels offer broader coverage and are excellent for general surface cleaning, rust removal, and preparation tasks over larger areas. Wire cup brushes provide more focused and aggressive action, making them better suited for targeted cleaning, especially in tight or angled spaces. Both types of wire brushes are invaluable tools in industrial, automotive, and construction applications, where effective surface preparation and cleaning are critical to the success of a project. Ohio Power Tool's selection of wire wheels and wire cups ensures that professionals can find the right tool for their surface preparation needs, enhancing efficiency and achieving optimal results in their work.
