The features of Carbide Burr
Longer service life
Use for long production runs
Heavy-duty removal
Good for processing on hard and tough materials
Do not make the carbide burr being still for too long Keep
Please have the carbide burr in running, cause the carbide burrs left in silence for a long time will be held back from hollowing and plunging into the materials and finally leads to roughness and scar. To better understand the carbide bur uses, make good use of your router bits.
