Essential Knowledge About Carbide Burrs

Exactly what is a carbide burr
Carbide burrs are tools useful for deburring, cutting, shaping, grinding, and chamfering hard materials. Different cuts of carbide burrs is going to be suitable for many materials.

Carbide burrs are used in air tools including die grinders, pneumatic rotary tools and high-speed engravers, Micro Motors, Pendant Drills, Flexible Shafts, and hobby rotary tools.

Why use Carbide burrs over HHS(high-speed steel)?
Carbide has an Higher than normal heat tolerance which allows these to operate at higher speeds than similar HSS cutters, though maintain their cutting edges. High-speed steel(HSS) burrs will start to soften at higher temperatures while carbide Maintains hardness even under compression and it has Longer working life and is also a better choice for long term performance as a result of higher wear resistance.

Single-Cut vs Double-Cut
Single cut Burrs are suitable for General Purpose. It is going to give good material removal and smooth workpiece finishes.

Single cut is utilized with stainless, hardened steel, copper, surefire, and ferrous metals and can remove material quickly which has a smooth finish. Can be used as Deburring, cleaning, milling, material removal or creating long chips

Double cut Burrs permit 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 widely-used 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 can remove material faster.

Double-cut will leave a smoother finish than single-cut due to producing smaller chips because 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 are the most popular and work with most applications.
