Burr Shape A - Cylindrical
Cylindrical burrs, often designated as Shape A, are one of the most widely used burr forms for general burring processes. These tools are perfect for removing sharp edges, deburring parts, and finishing tight areas without damaging the workpiece. They are commonly utilized in the automotive and aerospace industries, especially in the manufacturing of precision components where finesse and accuracy are crucial.
Burr Shape C - Cylindrical Ball Nose
The Cylindrical Ball Nose burrs, identified as Shape C, are essential for contour finishing and flared edge work. They offer excellent precision in creating radius profiles and cleaning up contours on machined parts, making them highly suitable for die and mold industries. These burrs are also frequently used in sculpting and engraving tasks within the arts and crafts sector.
Burr Shape D - Ball
Shape D burrs, or Ball burrs, are very effective for hollowing out and creating rounded profiles in materials. Their spherical design allows them to remove material smoothly from all angles, which is ideal for machining tasks such as creating recesses or cavities. Key industries for these burrs include jewellery making and the dental sector, where intricate shaping is required.
Burr Shape E - Oval
Oval burrs (Shape E) are particularly useful for deburring and finish machining where oval contours or curved surfaces are present. This shape facilitates the smooth transition in channels and fillets. Industries such as pipe and fittings manufacturing benefit significantly from the specific contouring capabilities of oval burrs.
Burr Shape F - Round Tree
Round Tree burrs, represented in Shape F, are perfect for machining areas with difficult access. Their rounded, tapered design makes them ideal for grinding and deburring in slots and recessed areas. These burrs find extensive application in the automotive sector, especially in the finishing of engine and transmission components.
Burr Shape F - Round Tree (Aluminium)
Similarly, the Round Tree burrs designed for aluminium (also Shape F) provide the same benefits as their general use counterparts but are specifically tailored to softer metals like aluminium. They prevent clogging and provide a smoother finish, which is crucial in the fabrication and assembly of aluminium structures, such as in aviation and boat building industries.
Burr Shape G - Pointed Tree
The Pointed Tree burrs, or Shape G, are tailored for precision material removal in more complex areas. With their pointed end and elongated shape, they are particularly good at reaching into narrow and deep pockets. Industries that benefit from these burrs include electronics and detail-oriented engineering fields.
Burr Shape H - Flame
Flame burrs (Shape H) have a rounded, flame-like tip that makes them perfect for smoothing curved surfaces without leaving tool marks. They are extensively used in car body work and sculpting, especially for finishing surfaces that require a high degree of finish before painting or coating.
Burr Shape L - Taper Ball Nose
Taper Ball Nose burrs, indicated as Shape L, combine aspects of both the tapered and ball nose designs. This unique combination allows for excellent versatility, making these burrs ideal for machining molds, dies, and prototypes with requirement for detailed pre-finishing and finishing applications.
Burr Shape M - Cone
Cone burrs (Shape M) are primarily used for chamfering, bevelling, and preparing edges where angles are crucial. They provide distinct advantages in metalworking tasks, especially where sharp edges need to be smoothed out with precision in sheet metal fabrication and HVAC installations.
