Abbott & Ashby AAWB/150 150mm Crimped Wire Wheel, 22mm Wide, 12.7mm Bore

Abbott & Ashby crimped wire wheels made of crimped brass coated carbon steel wire, in two sizes: AAWB/150 at 150mm (6") diameter and 22mm wide with a 12.7mm bore, and AAWB/200 at 200mm (8") diameter and 25mm (1") wide with a 15.9mm bore. (manufacturer-stated)

Abbott & Ashby says the crimped wire is highly flexible on irregular surfaces and suits light brushing, surface preparation, general purpose cleaning and deburring. Its cutting action is at the filament tips, which supports consistent, uniform brushing. (manufacturer-stated)

Where this product is used

• Light brushing and surface preparation (manufacturer-stated)
• General purpose cleaning and deburring (manufacturer-stated)
• Brushing irregular surfaces (manufacturer-stated)

Features

• Crimped brass coated carbon steel wire (manufacturer-stated)
• Flexible on irregular surfaces (manufacturer-stated)
• Light pressure gives the fastest brushing action and longest brush life; excessive pressure over-bends filaments and causes breakage, rapid dulling and reduced brush life (manufacturer-stated)
• Reverse the wheel periodically to use the opposite cutting edge of the filament (manufacturer-stated)

Common specifications

Key specifications

Bore is as given in the Abbott & Ashby catalogue table: 12.7mm for AAWB/150 and 15.9mm for AAWB/200. The catalogue also gives a bore diameter of 32mm with multi-bore adapters. Check your grinder spindle size before ordering.

Selecting the right option

The two wheels differ in diameter, width and bore: AAWB/150 (150mm, 22mm wide) is listed for 150mm bench grinders and AAWB/200 (200mm, 25mm wide) for 200mm bench grinders. Apply light pressure and reverse the wheel from time to time, as Abbott & Ashby advises. For grinding rather than brushing, see the silicon carbide grinding wheels linked below.
