What is a carbide burr
Carbide burrs are tools utilized for deburring, cutting, shaping, grinding, and chamfering hard materials. Different cuts of carbide burrs will be best suited for several materials.
Carbide burrs are used in air tools like die grinders, pneumatic rotary tools and high-speed engravers, Micro Motors, Pendant Drills, Flexible Shafts, and hobby rotary tools.
The reason to use Carbide burrs over HHS(high-speed steel)?
Carbide comes with an Elevated heat tolerance that allows these phones operate at higher speeds than similar HSS cutters, though maintain their cutting edges. High-speed steel(HSS) burrs are going to soften at higher temperatures while carbide Maintains hardness even under compression and has Longer working life and is a better choice for too long term performance due to higher wear resistance.
Single-Cut vs Double-Cut
Single cut Burrs are for General Purpose. It’ll give good material removal and smooth workpiece finishes.
Single cut is utilized with stainless-steel, hardened steel, copper, certain, and ferrous metals and can remove material quickly having a smooth finish. Can be used Deburring, cleaning, milling, material removal or creating long chips
Double cut Burrs accommodate rapid stock removal in harder materials and tougher applications. The designs reduces pulling action, that enables better operator control, and reduces chips
Double cut burrs are utilized on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, aluminium, soft steel and for all non-metal materials including stone, plastics, hardwood, and ceramic. This cut has more cutting edges and may remove material faster.
Double-cut will leave a smoother finish than single-cut as a result of producing smaller chips since they cut away the information. Use double-cut for medium-light stock removal, deburring, fine finishing, cleaning, smooth finishes, and creating smaller chips. Double cut carbide burrs include the most widely used and benefit most applications.
