In this article, we will be talking about the various applications of the carbide bur as evident in the removal of excess materials, sharp edges and burrs, in grinding, shaping and cutting.
When making use of the long carbide burr, it should not be kept too long. The reason is that holding it for too long will prevent the burr from jabbing and digging into the material you are working on. Again, it will leave rough marks on it.
End on an 'up' stroke for a smoother finish to your work.
To extend the life of carbide rotary burr set, we must obey the following rules.
· Do not use carbide burs for tempered material.
· Do not use new carbide burrs for hardened metal.
· For new files, you must use one side. When this side was blunt, you can use the other side Cast iron with hardcover or sand should be ground first with grinding wheels. Then you can deburr the material with carbide burs.
· When grinding, remember to clean the splinters of the carbide milling cutter teeth with the steel wire brush.
· Do not use a speed higher than reasonable speed. Otherwise, carbide strawberries would be blunt very quickly.
· Carbide burrs cannot be placed on top of each other. Meanwhile, carbide burs cannot be piled up with other tools. That is useful for protecting carbide strawberry cutters.
· Carbide burs should be away from water, oil or other dirty materials.
· Do not press the grinder with too much power. That will help carbide burs to grind the material freely with high efficiency.
· Fine carbide burs cannot be used in soft metal.
It is essential to know that not all carbide burrs are made equal and of the same quality. While some are designed to withstand higher pressure, others are made with relatively weaker metals. This is why you need to liaise with reputable suppliers to ensure that you have the best tungsten carbide burr for your industrial applications.
Note: when compared to the non-coated cutting burr, the Titanium nitride bur increases cutting reforms and can double the life of the burr.
What Do You Use Carbide Burrs In?
When you talk about the carbide burr use, you need to look at fields such as the air tools which include the high-speed engravers, the pneumatic rotary tools and the die grinders. Other applications are in the hobby rotary tools such as a Dremel, the flexible shafts, the pendant drills and the micromotors.
However, a handpiece that runs true such as the wobble should be used when working with the carbide burrs always.
What field is the Carbide Burr applied?
Carbide burrs are widely used for sculpting, cylinder head porting, grinding, casting, chamfering, welding, jewelry making, deburring, wood carving, model engineering, engineering, tool making and a wide range of other metal works.
On a broader perspective, this carbide burrs finds application in a wide range of fields and industries which include the metalsmith industries, in metal sculpting, in the dental field, in automotive industries, aerospace and more.
