          GENERAL HINTS ON CARBIdE BURRS

          Carbide Burrs are widely used for preparing and finishing components in a wide range of materials.
          They are generally used by hand and mounted in air driven die-grinders




          FEATURES ANd BENEFITS
          1.  Toughened and hardened steel shanks improve rigidity and reduce the risk of bending or vibration

          2.  Accurately ground shanks improve holding and reduce likelihood of spinning

          3.  Special brazing elements prevent high temperature failure and also provide increased strength to withstand pressure
             and impact

          4.  The universal double Cut geometry is suitable for a wide range of materials and applications
          5.  Material  specific  geometries  are  also  available  suited  to  Steel  (ST),  Stainless  Steel  (VA), Aluminium  (AL)  and
             Fibreglass (GRP)
          6.  Available with TiAlN coating to increase tool life in abrasive materials

          7.  Ball nose burrs are ground with Skip Flute geometry
          8.  This provides active geometry towards the centre of the burr, improving the cutting action and reducing the chances
             of swarf build up and clogging









                                                                         Skip                         Normal












          SAFETY FIRST
          1.  High speed rotating tools are hazardous and can be dangerous if miss-used

          2.  Always disconnect the die grinder from the air supply before attempting to change the burrs
          3.  Check the condition of the die grinder and if possible use low vibration versions

          4.  Always use the appropriate protective equipment and ensure anyone working close by is also protected












                                         Personal protective equipment must be worn at all times.
