Description
The Vortex Carbide Burr Type D – Ball Nose – Aluminium Cut is a high-speed burr engineered for fast, clean deburring, shaping, and finishing of aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. This 16 mm diameter carbide burr features a ball nose profile that excels on curved surfaces and tight pockets, while its flute geometry minimizes clogging to maintain smooth material removal across long cuts.
- Ball Nose Precision for Curved Surfaces: The rounded tip enables precise work on radii and contours, delivering smooth finishes on curved aluminum features and inside recesses.
- Anti-Clog Flute Geometry for Smooth Cutting: Special flute design reduces chip buildup in soft metals, helping you maintain speed and produce consistent edges without stalling.
- Durable Carbide for Long Tool Life: Made from high-quality carbide, this burr resists wear at high speeds, delivering reliable performance through repeated deburring and finishing tasks.
Whether you’re upgrading shop tooling or tackling a challenging aluminum project, this burr helps you finish faster with fewer passes and less rework. The ball nose gives control in curves, pockets, and complex geometries, while the anti-clog design keeps your workflow steady at higher speeds. Built for reliability, the Type D burr delivers consistent results from first cut to final finish, helping you meet tight tolerances and boost overall productivity.
