Design and Construction

Standard-type burrs covering the casting-cleanup codes: cylinder, ball, tree and flame in the sizes foundries reorder. Integral YG carbide with double-cut flutes keeps cutting through abrasive casting scale.

How It Works

The double-cut flutes shear scale and feed pads without glazing; head codes map directly to the casting feature – balls for fillets, cylinders for pads, trees for parting-line beads.

Applications

Foundry fettling, investment-casting cleanup, die-cast trimming, heat-treat scale removal.

Field Cases

  • Iron foundry: feed pads fettled at 20,000 RPM where grinding discs glazed on sand inclusions.
  • Investment casting shop: tree heads removed parting-line flash on 17-4PH without work-hardening the surface.
  • Die-cast trimmer: cylinder heads cleaned gate stubs on aluminium housings.

Reorder pattern Standard codes make monthly replenishment a numbers exercise

Suitable Materials

Grey iron, ductile iron, steel castings, aluminium and zinc die-cast alloys.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these cut casting scale?

Yes – double-cut flutes are the standard choice for abrasive scale.

Which head for parting lines?

Tree heads follow the parting-line bead best.

Stock or custom?

These are stock standard types – ships immediately.

Aluminium die-castings?

Yes; use the aluminum-cut option for the softest alloys.

Set available?

Foundry sets can be assembled from the standard codes.
