Carbide Rotary Burrs bring cutting, shaping, grinding and for the removal of sharp edges, burrs and excess material (deburring) and that is that which you mention with this article.
For drilling holes or cutting a dent in metal then the carbide drill or perhaps a carbide end mill, carbide slot drill or even a carbide router is needed rather than carbide burr. For carving into stone you’d ideally use a Diamond Burr.
1. Carbide Burrs Can be Used on Many Materials
Tungsten Carbide burrs may be used on many materials: metals including steel, aluminum and iron, all sorts of wood, acrylics, fibreglass and plastics. When applied to soft metals like gold, platinum and silver, carbide burrs are ideal as they will last quite a while with no chipping or breaking.

Different cuts of carbide burrs will likely be ideal to certain materials, see the next point below to discover more on the different cuts.
2. Carbide Burrs Commonly Can be found in Two Cuts; Single Cut and Double Cut
Single cut (one flute) carbide burrs possess a right handed (Up cut) spiral flute. These usually are used with stainless steel, hardened steel, copper, iron, and ferrous metals and will remove material quickly which has a smooth finish. Use for heavy stock removal, milling, deburring and cleaning.

Double cut carbide burrs usually are used on ferrous and non ferrous metals, aluminium, soft steel and for all non-metal materials like plastics and wood. They have more cutting edges and will remove material faster. Double cut are occasionally referrred to as Diamond Cut or Cross Cut (2 flutes cut across the other person) leaves a smoother finish than single cut on account of producing smaller chips since they cut away the fabric. Use for medium-light stock removal, deburring, finishing and cleaning. A dual cut carbide burr is regarded as the popular cut and may view you through most applications.

3. The Various Shapes of Carbide Burrs and ways to Utilize them
Shop what contour around use is determined by the profile or cut you are planning to achieve.
These different shaped burs will get into many a nook and cranny and convey some interesting profiles.

4. What Speed or RPM the use of your Carbide Burrs?
The pace at which you employ your carbide bur in your rotary tool depends on the information you’re using it on and also the contour being produced however it is pretty sure you don’t need to exceed speeds of 35,000 RPM.
If the burs are chipping easily this may be as a result of speed being too slow. However, it’s ideal to start the bur off slow, increasing the speed during this process. High speeds minimizes clogging from the flutes of the burs.
5. Usually do not Apply Excessive Pressure
As with all drill bits and burrs, permit the burr perform the work and apply simply a little pressure otherwise the cutting edges with the flutes will chip away or become smooth too soon, decreasing the duration of your burr.
6. Carbide Burrs are not as easy Than HSS Burrs
Our Carbide Burrs are machine ground from a specially chosen grade of carbide. Due to extreme hardness with the Tungsten Carbide they are often applied to far more demanding jobs than HSS (High Speed Steel).
Carbide Burrs also perform better at higher temperatures than HSS to help you run them hotter, as well as for longer.
HSS burrs will start to soften at higher temperatures so carbide is definitely a better option for too long term performance.
7. Maintain the Carbide Burr Moving around
When using your carbide burr never ensure that it stays still for too much time simply because this will prevent the burr from digging and jabbing to your material causing unsightly marks and roughness.
