Why a Carbide Burr Vibrates

Vibration often comes from excessive overhang, a bent shank, high side pressure or unstable workholding.

Carbide Burs: selection checklist

  • Reduce tool stickout.
  • Inspect the shank and collet.
  • Support the work and use controlled passes.

How to choose the right option

  1. Stop and inspect the tool, workpiece and machine interface.
