Why a Carbide Burr Loads Up in Aluminum
Aluminum can pack into a burr when the cut, speed, edge condition or lubrication is not suited to non-ferrous material.
Carbide Burs: selection checklist
- Choose a non-ferrous or single-cut pattern.
- Keep the burr moving rather than dwelling.
- Clean the burr and reduce heat buildup.
How to choose the right option
- Stop and inspect the tool, workpiece and machine interface.
- Correct the size, geometry, setup or cutting condition involved.
- Run a controlled test and inspect the result before returning to production.
