We stock an extensive range of tungsten carbide burrs in 11 different shapes, 2 different cut forms and a whole range of diameters which will easily fit on to your die grinder. The multi-faced diamond cut burr ensures rapid low vibration cutting on steels and other hard metals. Diamond cut tungsten carbide burrs are identified as Code 6 ( /6) at the end of our part (sku) number. The open fluted cut face aids fast swarf removal on soft materials such as aluminium and soft plastics.ĭiamond Cut Carbide Burrs - for hard metals such as stainless steel and titanium. Harder metals won’t clog up the metal, but the metal breaks off in small chunks, so lots of small cutting edges which you get on a diamond cut head speed up the grinding process.įluted Cut Carbide Burrs - for non-ferrous metals and plastics are identified as Code 3 ( /3) at the end of our part (sku) number. Non-ferrous metals and soft plastics can clog up the cutting head of a burr so for this reason the fluted cutting shape makes sense. We are so confident in the stability of our burrs that we offer a no quibble money back guarantee against all our burrs. Does the head fall off? Really? Sadly we hear all to often that some burrs supplied in the market place have a habit of losing their heads!! It can happen, but it shouldn't.Lots of swarf or chips in the surface of a new burr might indicate that the head was machined out using poor quality or worn cutting tools. Look for a good clean profile on the burr head with no micro-particles or chips being visible in the cut profile. Have you considered inspecting a burr under a microscope? That might seem a little odd but it is at the microscopic level that quality really begins to show.In normal use single cut burrs add no real benefit to the end user but they are cheaper to make and will not last as long as a diamond cut burr on steel. Although there are exceptions to the rule look for a premium cutting profile such as the diamond cut or fluted cut profile of the burr head.Here are three tips which might help you to separate the sheep from the goats (so to speak). Looking at a carbide burr in a box it is very difficult to tell one burr from another. Fluted cut carbide burrs have long curved cutting profile which allows for efficient removal of the grinding swarf and also allows for more air to get near the cutting surface in order to keep the workpiece cool For this reason we supply the fluted cut profile on all our carbide burrs designed for aluminium. Softer metals and soft plastics tend to heat up quickly when grinding into the material surface. The finer burr cut profile also improves the quality of finish from the burr. Ideal for harder metals inclduing steels, stainless steel and aerospace metals. This is a finer tooth head which has a knurled appearance on the surface which creates a large number of smaller cutting faces. We therefore have two cut profiles available as standard Diamond Cut Burrs There are many older styles of cut profile but at AFS we took the decision to focus on the best options for all applications. The machine profile of the carbide burr is important for it's application. Dependent on the size of the burr, premium quality carbide burrs are either fully machined from a solid piece of tungsten carbide or the cutting head of the burr is made from a 'blank' of tungsten carbide which is soldered onto a tool hardened steel shaft to create the burr head.
