Carbide burrs are cutting tools made of tungsten carbide, a material known for its hardness and durability. They are used for removing material from a variety of surfaces, such as metal, wood, plastic, and composites.


Carbide burrs have a cylindrical or conical shape, with sharp teeth or flutes that cut into the material when rotated. They are designed to be used with high-speed rotary tools such as die grinders, Dremel tools, or flex shafts. The burr is held in a collet or chuck and spun at high speeds, typically between 20,000 and 30,000 RPM.


The cutting action of the carbide burr is achieved through a combination of rotational speed and pressure. As the burr spins, the sharp teeth or flutes scrape away material from the surface being worked on. The burr can be used to shape, grind, deburr, or remove material, depending on the specific application.


Carbide burrs are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes, including cylindrical, ball, oval, flame, tree, and cone. Different shapes are used for different applications, such as creating flat surfaces, removing welds, or shaping contours. Carbide burrs are a versatile tool for metalworking, woodworking, and other applications that require precise material removal.


Doublecut is suitable for deburring and polishing brass, bronze, copper, cast iron, cast steel, carbon steel, steel nickel, alloy steel, chrome, stainless steel and titanium. Alumacut is suitable for aluminium, plastics and zinc.
