What is a carbide burr
Carbide burrs are tools used for deburring, cutting, shaping, grinding, and chamfering hard materials. Different cuts of carbide burrs will probably be ideal for certain 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.
Why would you use Carbide burrs over HHS(high-speed steel)?
Carbide comes with a Very high heat tolerance that allows the crooks to operate at higher speeds than similar HSS cutters, but still maintain their cutting edges. High-speed steel(HSS) burrs will begin to soften at higher temperatures while carbide Maintains hardness even under compression and it has Longer working life which is a better choice for too long term performance as a result of higher wear resistance.
Single-Cut vs Double-Cut
Single cut Burrs are for General Purpose. It’s going to give good material removal and smooth workpiece finishes.
Single cut is employed with stainless steel, hardened steel, copper, certain, and ferrous metals and may remove material quickly using a smooth finish. Can be used as 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, allowing better operator control, and reduces chips
Double cut burrs are utilized on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, aluminium, soft steel as well as all non-metal materials including stone, plastics, hardwood, and ceramic. This cut has more cutting edges and will remove material faster.
Double-cut leaves a smoother finish than single-cut on account of producing smaller chips while they cut away the pad. Use double-cut for medium-light stock removal, deburring, fine finishing, cleaning, smooth finishes, and creating smaller chips. Double cut carbide burrs are the most widely used and work with most applications.
