Knowledge You Must Know About Tungsten Carbide Burrs
1. Carbide Burrs are Harder?Than Steel Burrs
Good quality carbide burrs are machine-ground with a specially chosen carbide grade to meet the highest quality standards. You can use them on a wide?variety of jobs because the high hardness of the tungsten carbide allows them to perform much more demanding jobs than that of HSS (High-Speed Steel).?As well as performing better at higher temperatures, Carbide Burrs can also handle longer hot runs than their HSS counterparts.
2. Difference Shapes and Lengths Available
The carbide burrs come in various sizes and shapes, and both single-cut burrs and double-cut burrs are available. You would recommend that when ordering burrs, you obtain them in as many different shapes and sizes as possible to receive the right tools for any need you might have. It is directly related to the size of the burr than the speed of a carbide burr will be. As you work on different jobs, you can experiment with different speed settings, but starting slowly and increasing your speed as you go is recommended. An incorrect rate will result in a jagged surface finish, leading to debris building up inside the flutes.
3. Single and Double Cut Available
Carbide burrs are generally available in two cuts: single and double. The single-cut (or one-flute) burr has a spiral flute, sometimes referred to as an upcut. These burrs are commonly used in milling, machining stainless steel, cast iron, hardened steel, and deburring and cleaning ferrous metals. A double-cut carbide burr has two flutes and a rounded surface. Double-cut carbide burrs, also known as diamond-cut or cross-cut, are used for cutting light metals. With the double-cut carbide burrs, you can get a smooth finish on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, suitable for both. These techniques have been used, in addition to metals, for wood, plastic, and ceramic materials. You can ensure that you will achieve the finishing you want without damaging the material by matching the appropriate cut to the job.
4. Use Light Pressure
Using light pressure when working with any burr made from carbide is recommended to prevent the burr from damaging the material. To achieve the best-looking finish, you must ensure that you move steadily rather than starting and stopping. To ensure one’s finish is as smooth as possible, one should always end a job with an upstroke.
5. Can be Used on Many Materials
In addition to metal, the Tungsten Carbide burrs are suitable for other materials: wood, acrylic, fibreglass, plastic and many different polymers and materials. The carbide burrs are the ideal burr for soft metals such as gold, platinum, and silver because they are guaranteed to last a long time without breaking or chipping. There are, however, a variety of carbide burr cuts that will be better suited to certain materials; for more information on the type of burr cuts you need, please continue reading.
6. RPM of the Burr
It will depend on the material you will be using it on and the contour you are trying to create as to what speed of rotation you will need to use with your carbide bur inside your rotary tool, but we know for sure that you will not need to exceed speeds of 35,000 RPM.?The burrs are chipping easily might be because the burr’s speed is too slow. The best way to start a bur is slowly and increase the speed as you go. Having your burrs spinning at a very high speed will help to prevent clogging in the flutes.
