SA-3 cylinder shape burrs are great for interior contour work and deburring. Due to extreme hardness with this tungsten carbide, you can use it on much more demanding jobs than HSS (High-Speed Steel).
Double cut or Cross cut carbide burrs are generally suited for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, soft steel, as well as all non-metal materials for example stone, plastics, wood floor, and ceramic. Double cut burrs will leave a somewhat smoother finish than single cut because of producing smaller chips while they cut away the pad. Use for medium stock removal, deburring, finishing, and cleaning. A double-cut carbide burr is among the most popular cut and definately will see you through most applications.
Machines Used On:
Die Grinders and hand-held pneumatic grinders
Application:
Ferrous Materials – Iron, Steel, Stainless, Steel, Titanium, Nickel, Wrought Iron
Non-Ferrous Materials – Copper
Many other materials – Fiberglass, Plastic, Hard Rubber, Wood, Stone
Cylinder Shape burrs are ideal for interior contour work like peripheral and face milling.
Safety Tips & Techniques:
Tool speed will be determined by the material you are using your burr on. If you might be experiencing chipping, you’re probably operating at way too high of speed for the application. Start with a slower speed while increasing as you go along and soon you reach the greatest results
Apply light pressure and allow tool perform work. Bearing down on the tool will lead to reduced tool life along with a dull burr.
Always wear proper PPE to add (although not tied to) safety glasses, hearing protection, respirator, and work gloves. Keep all guards available on the machine.
Avoid use on electric power drills; the slower speeds can lead to chipping of one’s workpiece.
