Single-cut (aluma) and double-cut (diamond) metal pieces are the most popular in today's industry. Wide single/aluminum cut carbide metal burrs with one right cut spiral flute are used for forged iron, steel, copper, brass, and other ferrous materials, including aluminum.
Stock can be cleared easily and without clogging with single-cut burrs (clogging is typical with aluminum). However, they do not deliver as smooth a finish as double-cut carbide burrs. In the double/diamond cut, the right and left cuts are faster and more polished. Heavy metals such as glass, chrome oxide, and other heavy metals are often used.
Single Cut Carbide Burr for Metal, Aluminum, and Steel
A single cut carbide burr is often used to remove material from stainless steel, hardened steel, brass, wrought iron, and ferrous metals. This process allows for heavy stock removal, milling, deburring, and cleaning.
This process allows for stuff removal, milling, deburring, brushing, and the production of long chips. If you want the clearest conclusions and your burr to last as long as possible, don't cut under too much heat. Excessive friction will chip and smooth the cutting tips of the flutes prematurely, shortening the burr's life.
Maintain as much burr movement around the cutting area as possible. If you don't use the metal burr for a long time, it will clog and stop scraping and jabbing the job, leaving a rough finish and visible traces.
