Type F Carbide Burr, 6/8/10/12 mm Head Cut Diameter Ladder

Type F ball-nose burrs across a 6 to 12 mm ladder – one geometry, four sizes, one selection table.

Design and Construction — a VPOINT tungsten carbide burr bit in the standard SA–SM head-code system, sized for steel / stainless welds 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

Type F (ball-nose cylinder) in four head diameters: 6, 8, 10 and 12 mm on 6 mm shanks. The same ball-nose geometry scaled across the ladder – pick the size, keep the behaviour.

How It Works

The ball nose rolls through concave work; larger heads plane wider blends at lower RPM (about 50,000 starting at 6 mm, about 25,000 at 12 mm).

Applications

Concave blending, fillet dressing, die work and fabrication radii at any scale.

Field Cases

  • Die shop: F6 for fillets, F12 for cored pockets – one geometry across the die.
  • Fabricator: F10 blended a 15 mm radius in two passes.
  • Maintenance: the ladder covered pump-casing fillets from 6 to 12 mm without custom orders.

Performance Data

Metric Value / Observation
Ladder 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 mm cut diameters
Speed by size 6 mm: about 50,000 RPM; 12 mm: about 25,000 RPM starting in steel
Geometry rule Same ball-nose profile scaled – behaviour predictable
Hardness 1,300-1,500 HV across the ladder

Suitable Materials

Steel, cast iron, stainless steel and non-ferrous metals.

Material Comparison: F6 vs F8 vs F10 vs F12 – Choosing by the Job

The same ball nose at four sizes – typical industry data:

Size Best Job Starting Speed (steel)
F6 (6 mm) Tight fillets, small radii About 50,000 RPM Detail control
F8 (8 mm) Standard fillets About 40,000 RPM General blending
F10 (10 mm) Wide radii About 30,000 RPM Faster coverage
F12 (12 mm) Cored pockets, heavy blends About 25,000 RPM Max removal

Delivery Scope

Each size tube-packed with its diameter; full ladder stocked.

Why Choose VPOINT

A published ladder replaces trial-and-error with a number.

Precision & Quality Control

Each diameter checked against the size table before packing.

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.

Which size replaces a stone?

F10 or F12 for wide blends; F6 for detail.

Same geometry across sizes?

Yes – scaled, not redesigned.

Speed rule?

Lower RPM as the head grows.

Mixed-size case?

Available – common wholesale order.

Shank on all?

6 mm (1/4″) throughout.
