Metal Grinding, Polishing and High-Speed Carving Cone Bits

Cones that grind, polish and carve – the speed-and-pressure map for three duties on one head.

Design and Construction — a VPOINT cone-shape carbide burr for chamfer cleanup and taper work, 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

Cone heads specified for multi-duty bench work: coarse enough to grind metal, fine enough to carve at high RPM, and capable of a polishing pass with compound at feather pressure. The technique map ships with the bit.

How It Works

Duty is a dial, not a tool change: speed and pressure select the behaviour – grind at 30,000 RPM, carve at 45,000 RPM nose-only, polish at top RPM with compound.

Applications

Art metalwork, jewellery support, model engineering, small-part finishing.

Field Cases

  • Art smith: one cone ground, carved and polished a bronze fitting in one session.
  • Model shop: three setup changes eliminated per part.
  • Jewellery support: the map made the technique teachable.

Performance Data

Metric Value / Observation
Duty map Grind / carve / polish by speed-pressure
Grind About 30,000 RPM, firm pressure
Carve About 45,000 RPM, nose only
Polish Top RPM + compound, feather touch

Suitable Materials

Bronze, brass, aluminium, silver, steel and plastics.

Standard reference values for guidance only — always adjust to the workpiece material, the machine spindle speed and the feed, and confirm on the actual part.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which cone angle for a countersink cleanup?

Match the burr angle to the countersink: 90° for standard screw seats, 60° for narrower chamfers, 30° for gentle tapers — one-pass edge breaks on cast iron and steel.

Cone or inverted cone?

Standard cone widens toward the tip for chamfer work; the inverted cone widens toward the shank and reaches into angled pockets.

Which cut style on cast iron?

Double-cut clears the abrasive chips fast; single-cut leaves a smoother finish on the tapered wall.

How does one head do three jobs?

Speed and pressure select the behaviour – the map card shows it.

Compound included?

Guide card yes; compound separate.

Beginner friendly?

The map makes it teachable.

Which metals?

Bronze, brass, aluminium, silver, steel.

Setup savings?

Two tool changes per job, typically.
