Design and Construction

A 6 mm flame head balanced for steel work: mass for sustained removal, taper for control. Integral YG carbide with double-cut flutes.

How It Works

At about 40,000 RPM the head planes steel welds and blends plates; the taper keeps the nose from digging on transitions.

Applications

Steel fabrication, structural work, machine bases, general steel maintenance.

Field Cases

  • Structural shop: the everyday flame on beam-to-plate welds.
  • Machine bases: ground-down pads blended before painting.
  • General maintenance: one head size covered most steel jobs.

Material Comparison: 6 mm Flame vs 6 mm Cylinder on Steel Plate

Same size, different behaviour on plate work:

Factor 6 mm Flame (this burr) 6 mm Cylinder
Weld seams Follows naturally Straight swath only
Plate edges Blends and chamfers Chamfers, no blend
Transitions Taper prevents digging Corner can dig
Fatigue Lower – guided cut Higher – steering
Versatility Seams + edges + blends Edges only

Delivery Scope

Burr in tube.
