About this product
Product Description
The DEWALT DW4905 is a 6-inch crimped wire wheel brush designed for heavy-duty surface preparation work. It mounts via a standard round arbor hole measuring 5/8 inches, making it compatible with common bench grinders and right-angle grinders fitted with the appropriate arbor adapter. The fill material is carbon steel with a filament wire diameter in the 0.010 to 0.019 inch range, delivering aggressive action suitable for removing rust, scale, weld spatter, and heavy oxidation. The brush is rated to a maximum of 6,000 RPM and has a face width of 1 inch. Weighing 5.65 pounds, it is built for repeated use in shop and field environments. Licensed tradespeople and experienced fabricators are the typical end users.
This wheel brush is used in metal fabrication shops, welding operations, HVAC mechanical rooms, and general industrial maintenance settings. It is suited for surface cleaning prior to welding, coating, or inspection. The crimped wire construction provides consistent contact pressure across irregular surfaces, making it effective on structural steel, pipe, sheet metal, and castings. It is installed as a bench grinder wheel or adapted for use on angle grinders where spindle speed does not exceed the 6,000 RPM rating.

Installation Notes
Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Always power down and fully de-energize the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel brush.
