Carbide Burr Set – TiN Coated Double Cut 6mm Head on 3mm Shank

Our TiN-coated carbide burrs are specifically designed for use on titanium and hardened steel. The TiN coating enhances hardness, heat resistance, and durability, while the double-cut flutes improve cutting efficiency.

Why Choose TiN Coated Carbide Burrs?

  • Extended tool life – lasts up to three times longer than uncoated burrs
  • Higher heat resistance – reduces overheating and friction
  • Improved cutting speed – faster material removal with less clogging
  • Reduced chatter and vibration – for a smoother operation

Carbide Burr Alumina Cut Set – 10 x 6mm Head on 3mm Shank

Designed for working with aluminium, our Alumina Cut burrs feature a 45° helix angle for faster and more effective swarf removal, reducing the risk of clogging.

Why Choose Alumina Cut Carbide Burrs?

  • Superior durability compared to standard steel burrs
  • High heat resistance – maintains sharpness under extreme conditions
  • Precision cutting – delivers a cleaner and smoother finish

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Difference Between Single and Double Cut?

  • Single Cut: Features one continuous flute spiralling down the cutter. Ideal for ferrous metals, stainless steel, cast iron, and hardened steel.
  • Double Cut: Creates a smoother finish and is suitable for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

How Do I Choose the Right Size or Shape?

The best size and shape depend on the specific job and the areas you need to reach. Keep in mind that size affects the required surface speed (RPM).

What Pressure Should I Apply When Using Carbide Burrs?

Apply light pressure to avoid damaging both the burr and the workpiece. Use a steady motion rather than stopping and starting for the best finish.

What Surface Speed Should I Use?

For a 6mm diameter head, we recommend:

  • Heavy stock removal: 32,000 – 48,000 RPM
  • Lower stock removal: 38,000 – 48,000 RPM

Start at the lower end of the speed range and gradually increase to find the optimal balance between vibration and cutting efficiency.

Do You Offer Other Burrs?

Yes, we also supply Premium ATA Garryson Burrs for those who prefer a branded product. These offer excellent quality at a reasonable price.

What Tool Should I Use for Carbide Burrs?

The best tool for carbide burrs is the ENESKA 600 Micromotor. This bench-top, portable micromotor operates at up to 50,000 RPM with adjustable speed settings, delivering exceptional control and torque for cutting and grinding the hardest materials.

If you would like a demonstration, our team can arrange an in-person showcase of the ENESKA 600 Micromotor.
