Description

The Yato wheel brush M14 100 mm brass is a crimped wire wheel brush for angle grinders, optimised for gentle but effective cleaning of surfaces. Brass wire is softer than steel wire, which makes it easier to treat non-ferrous metals (e.g. copper, brass, aluminium) and coated and delicate surfaces without deep scratches.

The geometry of the wheel brush gives stable contact on long straight strokes and when brushing along edges. The Ø100 mm diameter gives good coverage, and the M14 connection fits most 115–125 mm angle grinders. The naturally low sparking of brass and the absence of iron contamination make the work cleaner, especially on electrical and pipe components and in finishing work.

The flexibility of crimped wire gives an even cut without the aggressiveness of knotted wire, which is an advantage when removing oxidation, paint and adhesive residues and light dirt. With the right working parameters (a shallow angle, light to moderate pressure and the recommended speed) you get a controlled, even microstructure before coating or bonding.

Intended use:

• Removing oxidation and surface dirt from non-ferrous metals: Brass wire removes copper and brass oxides and light oxide on aluminium in a controlled way. The result preserves the surface profile, which is important on joint surfaces, decorative parts and electrical contacts, where the condition of the surface affects how they work.

• Gentle cleaning of paint and adhesive residues: Crimped wire removes loosely adhering layers from wood, soft metals and coated parts. The softer cut reduces the risk of over-keying and leaves a uniform bonding surface for a new coating or adhesive.

• Cleaning up threads, sealing surfaces and fitting parts: Dried compounds, surface rust and dirt can be removed without heavily rounding the crests of the thread profile when the work is done with light pressure and even sweeps. This makes assembly and later maintenance easier.

• Finishing delicate and coated surfaces: The brush is suitable for light cleaning of chrome-plated, nickel-plated or anodised surfaces when steel wire would be too aggressive. Brass reduces sparking and prevents iron particles from transferring to the surface.

Features:

• Diameter: 100 mm – Good coverage on large surfaces while keeping control.

• Fixing: M14 thread – Compatible with most angle grinders; a guard is required.

• Bristle material: Brass wire (crimped) – Softer cut; low sparking; no iron contamination.

• Structure: Wheel brush – Even contact and controlled long strokes on edges and flat surfaces.

• Applications: Oxidation, paint/adhesive residues, light dirt – Especially non-ferrous metals and delicate surfaces.

• Speed: Follow the maximum value marked on the product – Prevents overheating and premature wear.

• Safety: Safety glasses/visor, respiratory protection and guard – To ensure safe working.

Yato wheel brush M14 100 mm brass: instructions for use:

1. Fitting: Disconnect the angle grinder from the power supply. Fit the brush to the M14 thread and tighten according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Make sure the guard is in the correct position.

2. Test run: Run the brush without load for a few seconds; stop if there is abnormal vibration, noise or runout.

3. Working: Hold the brush at a shallow angle and use light to moderate pressure. Make even sweeps; avoid long point contact and heat build-up.

4. Breaks and inspection: Stop regularly, remove loose material and check the wires for wear. Replace the brush if wires are missing or vibration increases.

5. Maintenance: Clean off dust and swarf; dry and store in a dry place. Do not straighten bent wires.

Warnings:

• Always wear safety glasses/a visor, a respirator suited to the dust level, protective gloves and, if necessary, ear defenders.

• Do not exceed the maximum speed permitted for the brush/machine.

• Do not use a damaged or unbalanced brush.

• Keep flammable materials away from the work area.

• Not for use in explosive atmospheres. Keep out of the reach of children.

• Removing old coatings can release harmful substances → make sure there is effective local extraction and suitable filters.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ):

Why choose brass wire instead of steel wire?
Brass is softer, sparks less and is suitable for non-ferrous metals and for treating delicate surfaces without the risk of iron contamination.

Can the brush be used on stainless steel?
Yes, but the removal rate is more moderate than with steel wire. Brass does not introduce iron particles to the surface, which helps preserve corrosion resistance.

Is it suitable for aluminium and threads?
Yes. Light pressure and a moderate speed clean off oxide and residues without rounding the crests of the thread profile.

When is the brush replaced?
When wires are missing, the hub is damaged or vibration increases, replace it with a new one to ensure safety and an even finish.
