Design and Construction — a VPOINT flame-shape carbide burr for weld dressing and contoured blending, 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

SH is the industry code for flame shape with radius end. This page decodes the code: what SH covers, how it differs from SL (ball-nose cone) and SM (taper), and the size ladder behind the letters.

How It Works

Know the code, know the geometry: SH always means the same flame profile across suppliers and sizes – ordering by code removes ambiguity.

Applications

Purchasing standardisation, cross-supplier consistency, training, documentation.

Field Cases

• Purchasing: SH codes speced across two suppliers matched geometry exactly.
• Documentation: work instructions reference SH codes instead of photos.
• Training: one chart taught the whole code system.

Performance Data

Suitable Materials

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

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the flame head best at?

＋Blending contoured welds, rounding external corners and reaching inside radii — the tapered point works where cylinder heads cannot.

R or L cut direction?

＋Right-cut (R) for standard forward feeding, left-cut (L) for reverse feeding or left-handed work — match it to your grinding posture.

Flame on stainless?

＋Yes — TiAlN-coated heads resist the heat that galls stainless; keep light pressure and let the flutes clear.
