Choosing and Using Carbide Burrs for Efficient Aluminum Cutting and Shaping
Burr Shape: Carbide burrs come in various shapes, such as cylindrical, ball, tree, flame, and more. The choice of shape depends on the type of cuts you need to make on the aluminum. For general cutting and shaping, cylindrical and ball-shaped burrs are often suitable. For finer detail work or accessing tight spaces, tree and flame shapes might be more appropriate.
Tooth Size: The size of the teeth on the burr determines the aggressiveness of the cut. Smaller teeth are better for finer work, while larger teeth are more aggressive and remove material faster. Consider the size of the teeth based on the type of aluminum work you're doing.
Burr Diameter and Shank Size: Ensure that the burr's diameter and shank size are compatible with the rotary tool or die grinder you'll be using. The shank size should match the collet or chuck size of your tool.
Coating: Some carbide burrs come with coatings like TiN (titanium nitride) or TiAlN (titanium aluminum nitride), which can enhance the tool's lifespan and performance by reducing friction and heat buildup. These coatings can be beneficial when working with aluminum, which tends to generate heat during cutting.
