Solid Carbide Burr with Polished Surface, Rotary Burrs for Fine Work

Polished-flute carbide burrs – the flutes are polished after grinding so chips slide and the finish comes out finer.

Design and Construction — a VPOINT tungsten carbide burr bit in the standard SA–SM head-code system, sized for aluminium (Aluma-cut) and similar work. YG8 carbide at HRA 89–91; die-grinder reference speeds are in the performance table below, with the flute-style guidance in the FAQ. ISO 9001 production, batch-verified, custom sizes from drawings.

Design and Construction

A polished-surface line: after grinding, the flutes are polished to remove grinding marks, so chips slide out instead of packing and the cut leaves a finer finish. Same YG carbide and geometry as the standard line – the difference is the surface.

How It Works

The polished flank reduces chip adhesion; at equal speed the cut looks cleaner and the burr stays sharp longer in gummy alloys.

Applications

Fine finishing, aluminium and brass work, visible surfaces, jewellery-scale shaping.

Field Cases

  • Aluminium fabricator: polished flutes resisted chip welding on 6061 brackets.
  • Brass fitting shop: finer as-cast finish straight off the burr – less hand blending.
  • Jewellery bench: polished heads left surfaces that needed only tripoli.

Performance Data

Metric Value / Observation
Finish note Polished flutes reduce chip adhesion – the main cause of rough finish in soft alloys
Hardness 1,300-1,500 HV with polished flanks
Speed reference About 40,000 RPM starting at 6 mm in aluminium
Life note Less adhesion means less edge loading – longer intervals between cleans

Suitable Materials

Aluminium, brass, copper, plastics and steel.

Material Comparison: Polished Flutes vs Standard Ground Flutes

What polishing changes on the same geometry:

Factor Polished (this burr) Standard Ground
Flute surface Polished – chips slide Ground – micro-marks hold chips
Chip adhesion Lower Higher on soft alloys
Finish left Finer Good but rougher
Cleaning interval Longer Shorter
Best materials Aluminium, brass, plastics Steel, cast iron

Delivery Scope

Burr in plastic tube; polished and standard versions ship together for comparison.

Why Choose VPOINT

Polishing is done in-house after grinding – the step most mills skip.

Precision & Quality Control

Surface finish of flutes sampled per batch alongside geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which head code do I need?

+The SA–SM code defines the contour: SA cylinder, SC ball-nose end, SD ball, SF tree-pointed, SH tree-radius, SL tree-tapered, SM cone. Match the contour to the cavity or corner you are shaping.

Can I use one burr across different metals?

+Yes with the right flute style — double-cut for steel and iron, Aluma-cut for aluminium and soft non-ferrous. Swapping styles between jobs keeps edges clean.

Are custom shanks or head sizes available?

+Yes — non-standard head diameters, shank sizes and logo marking are produced to order from drawings.

Is polishing just looks?

No – it reduces chip adhesion, which is what makes soft-alloy cuts rough.

Steel too?

Yes, but the biggest gain is on aluminium and brass.

Same geometry as standard?

Yes – only the surface differs.

Repolish after regrind?

Available on request.

Which shapes?

The polished line covers the common families.
