Sealey Tungsten Carbide Rotary Burr - Extra-Long Arc Round Nose 10mm - SDB05XL

'No. 6 cut' refers to a universal cut pattern, meaning it has a medium-coarse tooth spacing suitable for a wide variety of materials, providing a good balance between material removal and finish.

While primarily designed for metals, the No. 6 universal cut might be able to shape softer woods or plastics, but it may not produce a clean finish and could clog easily. It's best used on metals.

The maximum RPM depends on the rotary tool being used and the material. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for your specific rotary tool and the workpiece material. Exceeding recommended speeds can be dangerous and damage the burr.

After use, allow the burr to cool down. You can clean it using a stiff wire brush to remove metal filings and debris. For stubborn residue, a solvent cleaner might be used, followed by drying.

The shank diameter for this model (SDB05XL) is the standard 6mm, compatible with most common die grinders and rotary tools.

The No. 6 cut is a general-purpose cut. For extremely fine finishing or very precise material removal on delicate parts, a burr with a finer cut might be more appropriate.

Ensure you are using the correct speed for the material. Check if the burr is dull; Tungsten Carbide is durable but can eventually wear. Ensure you are applying adequate, but not excessive, pressure.

Check that the burr is securely tightened in the rotary tool's chuck. Ensure the burr shank is straight and not bent. Verify the rotary tool itself is functioning correctly.

Operating at incorrect speeds (too high for hard metals) or applying excessive force can cause premature wear. Ensure the material being worked on is compatible with the burr's cut type.
