ROTARY BURRS – GENERAL HINTS

Recommendations

  • Always use the appropriate speed rated die grinder.
  • Routine maintenance of die grinders is important, ensure they are oiled and bearings are not worn. EVERY
  • Always clean the clamping nut, collet and internal taper of the die grinder when changing a burr.
  • Try to avoid mechanical shock and heavy impact of the burrs.
  • Try to avoid thermal shock by not allowing the burr to become overheated.
  • Don’t plunge the burr too deep into the workpiece material or jam the bur into corners or channels.
ProblemCause
Running speed too low (revolutions per minute) can cause bouncing (chatter).
Chipping of Burr TeethEccentricity (worn spindle, collet or bearings).
Plunging and jamming the burr into the workpiece.
Clogging of Burr TeethFlute length or overall length too long. Incorrect geometry choice for workpiece material.
Premature WearRunning speed too high (revolutions per minute) for size of burr and workpiece material. Eccentricity (worn spindle, collet or bearings).
Head Detaches from ShankRunning speed too high (revolutions per minute) causing overheating. Running for prolonged periods causing overheating.
