Frequently Asked Questions
Get expert answers about our carbide burrs, manufacturing process, and technical specifications
What materials can carbide burrs cut?
Our carbide burrs are designed to work on a wide range of materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, hard plastics, and composites. Different cut types are optimized for specific materials - for example, our Double Cut is specifically designed for stainless steel and soft titanium alloys.
How do I choose the right carbide burr for my application?
Follow our 10-step selection process: 1) Choose your device, 2) Select applied material, 3) Determine operating speed, 4) Choose burr shape, 5) Select cut type, 6) Choose cut diameter, 7) Select shank diameter, 8) Choose shank type, 9) Customize shank length, 10) Contact us for final recommendations.
What is the difference between single cut and double cut burrs?
Single Cut (CUT M) burrs are suitable for machining cast iron, steel and stainless steel with hardness less than HRC60. Double Cut (CUT MX) burrs are designed for machining stainless steel, steel with hardness less than HRC60 and high-temperature-resistant materials. Double cut provides faster material removal but rougher finish.
What safety precautions should I take when using carbide burrs?
Always wear safety glasses, ear protection, protective gloves, and a face mask. Ensure the burr shank and chuck are firmly connected. Avoid excessive pressure to prevent overheating. Slow down when burrs get stuck. Never use in combustible gas environments.
What is your production capacity and lead time?
Our daily production capacity reaches 25,000-30,000 pieces of carbide burrs. With 3 factories and around 300 sets of 5-axis CNC machines, we can handle large orders efficiently. Lead times vary based on order size and customization requirements.
Do you offer custom carbide burr solutions?
Yes, we offer customized solutions including custom shank lengths, special shapes, and tailored cut types. As a manufacturer with complete supply chain control, we can adapt our products to meet specific customer requirements.
What makes Fitcarbide burrs different from competitors?
Our burrs feature: 1) Head cut fully to the top, 2) 100% tungsten carbide construction with hardened cutting edges, 3) Silver welding technology, 4) Same material quality as top brands, 5) Anti-skid handle design for better grip and security.
What is the recommended operating speed for carbide burrs?
Operating speed depends on the burr diameter, material being cut, and application. Generally, smaller burrs can run at higher speeds. Always refer to our speed charts or contact our technical team for specific recommendations to ensure optimal performance and tool life.
How should I store and maintain carbide burrs?
Store burrs in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Keep cutting edges protected from damage. Clean burrs after use to remove debris. Inspect regularly for wear or damage. Proper storage and maintenance significantly extend tool life.
