While preparing to replace the sills on my MGB I have discovered
that a wire brush wheel does a very good job of removing rust, paint,
undercoating, and the glue which was used to hold down the carpet.
I initially tried it in my die grinder (1/4" air driven) and it worked very
well. The shape of the die grinder is ideal for getting into tight
spots. However, I noticed that the die grinder has a rated speed
of 22,000 rpm while the wire brush wheel is rated at a maximum of
4000 rpm. Does anyone know where I can get wire brush wheels with
an appropriate speed rating (1/4" shaft) or, conversely, is there
another type of air tool which would be more appropriate
for this purpose?
TIA,
Peter Schauss
