Makita D-73835 Conical Steel Wire Brush, 12 mm, 6 mm Round Shank, 25,000 RPM

Conical steel wire brush engineered for aggressive cleaning, deburring, and surface preparation in tight, hard-to-reach areas. The 12 mm diameter crimped steel bristles deliver rapid rust and paint removal on metal, wood, plastic, and stone, while the 6 mm round shank fits standard drills, die grinders, and rotary tools. With a maximum speed of 25,000 RPM, this Makita accessory tackles demanding jobs with professional efficiency.

Advantages

Precision-formed conical profile reaches into corners, crevices, and internal surfaces where flat brushes cannot. Crimped steel wire (0.3 mm thickness) provides a balanced mix of aggression and flexibility, minimizing wire breakage and extending brush life. The round shank ensures secure chuck grip and concentric rotation, reducing vibration and operator fatigue. Suitable for high-speed applications up to 25,000 RPM, making it ideal for both handheld and stationary tools. Single-piece pack offers convenience for replacement or dedicated task use.

Recommendations

For best results, use with a variable-speed rotary tool and start at lower RPM to assess material removal. Always wear eye protection and gloves; wire brushes can eject bristles under high load. Pair with Makita power tools for optimal shank fit and performance.
