What is a pointed tree carbide burr used for?
The tapered sides and narrow spear-point tip make this burr useful for:
- Shaping and refining narrow recesses
- Working inside slots and openings
- Creating tapered and concave cuts
- Blending internal contours
- Deburring difficult-to-reach edges
- Opening out and enlarging holes gradually
- Detailed carving and controlled material removal
Use the narrow tip for detailed work and confined areas. The wider sides of the cutting head can be used to remove more material and blend the surrounding surface.
How to use your carbide burr
- Secure the workpiece before beginning.
- Make sure the shank is held securely in the chuck or collet.
- Bring the burr up to speed before making contact with the material.
- Begin with light pressure and allow the cutting edges to do the work.
- Use smooth, controlled movements and keep the burr moving across the surface.
- Avoid excessive pressure or sideways leverage, particularly when working with the narrow tip.
- Wear suitable eye protection and respiratory protection where required.
