Design and Construction

SA-SN series burrs are ground from integral tungsten carbide in thirteen head geometries: SA cylindrical, SB cylindrical with end cut, SC cylindrical ball nose, SD ball, SE oval, SF tree, SG pointed tree, SH flame, SJ 60-degree countersink, SK 90-degree countersink, SL ball-nosed cone, SM and SN taper shapes. The single (one-row) cut gives a smooth shearing action and a fine finish.

How It Works

At 6,000-50,000 RPM the single-cut flute peels material in continuous chips, producing a controlled finish with lower cutting pressure than double-cut styles.

Applications

Deburring, weld dressing, chamfering, contour finishing and engraving on steel, cast iron and stainless steel; head shape is selected to match the contour.

Suitable Materials

Steel, cast iron, stainless steel, copper, brass. Use aluminum-cut styles for soft non-ferrous material.

Field Cases

  • Brass fitting shop: single-cut cylinder heads turn brass turning blanks down fast without the chatter a double cut introduces on free-machining brass.
  • Cast-iron fettling: snatches riser pads off grey-iron castings; the long curling chip carries heat away from the edge.
  • Repair shop: re-cuts a seized bolt slot on a mild-steel bracket where control of chip direction matters more than finish.

Performance Data

Metric Value / Observation
Removal per pass Single cut removes the most material per pass on cast iron and steel (industry cutting data)
Best speed, 6 mm head About 45,000 RPM starting in copper and cast iron
Grade note YG-series integral carbide keeps edge integrity where HSS flutes roll over at 35 HRC
Control tip Single cut pulls to one side – let the flute steer rather than forcing direction

Material Comparison: Single Cut vs. Double Cut vs. Diamond Cut

Where the single-cut SA-SN series wins – typical industry data:

Factor Single Cut (this series) Double Cut Diamond Cut
Flute layout One right-hand spiral Right + left spiral Jagged fine cross tooth
Chip formed Long curling chip Small broken chip Micro chip
Cutting speed rating Fastest removal per pass Moderate Fine finishing
Vibration feel Higher – one edge family Lower – balanced cutting Lowest
Sweet spot Cast iron, steel, copper, brass Stainless, hardened steel Hard-facing, hardened tools
Finish character Clean, directional Smooth, controlled Very fine

Delivery Scope

Single burr in a plastic tube; all 13 shapes can be supplied as a set. Custom shapes and laser marking on request.

Why Choose VPOINT

VPOINT TOOLS has manufactured precision cutting tools since 2008 in two production bases (Sichuan and Dongguan, China) under ISO 9001 quality management. Every carbide burr is supported by a one-year warranty, custom and non-standard engraving service, and regrinding service. Thirteen head geometries cover cylinder-to-flame contours without changing tools mid-job.

Precision & Quality Control

Each burr is checked for flute geometry, cutting-edge sharpness, shank runout and concentricity at micrometre level before packing; production batches are traceable and packed per ISO 9001 procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the burr made of solid tungsten carbide?

Yes. The cutting head is integral tungsten carbide ground in the YG series grades.

Which shank sizes are available?

Standard shank is 6 mm (1/4″); other shank diameters and lengths are available on request.

What speed should I run the burr at?

Run between 6,000 and 50,000 RPM depending on the cutter diameter; use the lower end for larger diameters and the higher end for fine detail work.

Which materials can I machine with it?

Steel, cast iron, stainless steel, copper and brass; select aluminum-cut flutes for soft, gummy material.

Do you accept custom or non-standard sizes?

Yes. VPOINT supports custom shapes, sizes, shank lengths and laser marking on non-standard orders (minimum order quantity applies).
