Triumph Twist Drill 071448 SF-42 Solid Carbide Miniature Bur with Tree Shape and 1/4" Shank Review
A carbide bur is a rotating tool that is used for removing material, as well as deburring, cleaning, finishing, smoothing, shaping, and carving. Basically, the tool rotates at a very high RPM (rotations per minute), allowing it to manipulate the material it is working on. Carbide burs are very versatile tools, and they are used by a wide variety of people. They are commonly used in dentistry, diamond cutting, jewelry making, and auto head porting, as well as equine dentistry, sculpting, welding, and windshield repairing. Double cut carbide burs can be used at slower speeds, and produce smaller chips. They remove harder material more rapidly than single cut burs, and offer more operator control. Depending upon the shape and size of the bur you choose, some will leave a very smooth surface on your material, while others will leave a less smooth surface but might remove more material. Non-ferrous carbide burs are exactly what they sound like. They are specialized burs designed for using with non-ferrous material, like aluminum, copper, and magnesium.
