Design and Construction

SF-5: tree shape with radius end, 6 mm head class, on a 1/4 inch shank – the professional standard for radius blending. Ground to the published dimension table and tube-packed with the code printed.

How It Works

The radius-end tree rolls along transitions without stepping; at about 40,000 RPM it blends radii and dresses welds in controlled passes.

Applications

Radius blending, weld dressing, mould and die finishing, fabrication rework.

Field Cases

  • Mould shop: SF-5 blends EDM transitions where a cylinder stepped.
  • Fabricator: crown blending on 6 mm plate welds – the standard code every hand knows.
  • Maintenance: tube codes ended shape mix-ups between shifts.
