Carbide burrs are tools useful for deburring most hard materials like ceramics, stone, steel, aluminum, plastics and hardwood. They provide precision, and may double in cutting, shaping, grinding and chamfering hard materials.

Carbide burrs may be used with a variety of materials like metals (including Steel aluminum and iron) and types of wood. Technology-not only on acrylics, fiberglass and plastics too. Carbide burrs takes quite a while without chipping or breaking so that it’s so good to use them on soft metals like gold,platinum and silver.

Which are the Attributes of Carbide Burrs Compared with HSS Burrs?

In comparison with HSS, Carbide Burrs less difficult harder.

The Tungsten Carbide is incredibly hard so that they can be utilized in wider variety of work than HSS (Broadband Steel).

HSS can’t perform as well as carbide burrs when they’re at high temperature. Carbide Burrs can bear hotness and may run longer time.

Carbide won’t soften at temperature but HSS burrs is opposite. There’s no question that carbide is a better choice.

Utilizing Carbide Burs:

For additional stability, insert the accessory bit in the tool and then back against each other slightly before tightening around the collet nut or keyless chuck.

Don’t use these for drilling holes or enlarging holes that are lower than twice the diameter in the cutter. The tungsten carbide surface can easily catch the medial side of the hole and break the bit.

Use higher speeds for hardwoods, slower speeds for metals and slow speeds for plastics (to stop melting at contact point).

Start at a lower speed. Then increase for the speed that gives probably the most favourable results.

Usually do not apply excessive pressure. It may decrease the spindle and chip cutting edges. Let the bur carry out the cutting.

Make use of the sides from the cutter for effective cutting. The tip cuts poorly and may break pressurized.

Never in-capsulate the bur within the cut. If chattering occurs, increase speed.

When you use aluminium and magnesium, consider some sort of lubricant, wax or tallow, because it may help avoid the flutes from loading or packing.

Carbide burs, if used the appropriate way, will outperform HSS burs by 50
