Carbide Rotary Burs
Carbide rotary burs are used for cutting, shaping, and grinding materials in a process called deburring. They are versatile tools and can be used on many different materials including carbon and stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and plastics. They are often used in hand tools and milling machines depending on the application. RedLine Tools offers a wide range of styles of carbide burs for any application. All RedLine Tools are Proudly made in the USA.
Advantages of Carbide Burs over HSS.
- Longer tool life.
- Can be used as a production tool.
- Heavy stock removal.
- Can resist higher temperatures.
Burs are separated into two cut types; single cut and double cut.
Single Cut – These burs have a single, right-handed flute. They are used on harder metals like stainless steel, carbon steel, copper, cast iron and will remove material quickly.
Double Cut – sometimes referred to as Diamond Cut or Cross Cut, have two flutes that cross each other. They produce smaller chips than single cut and leave a smooth finish suitable for medium to light material removal for softer materials like aluminum and plastics. Applications include deburring, fine finishing, and cleaning.
Aluminum Application - Designed for optimal cutting of aluminum. Provides fast cutting without chip loading.
Burs come in various shapes for different applications. See our full selection below.
