helical fl utes combine to produce a chisel-type cutting tooth. This results in faster penetration and stock removal with minimal bounce or chatter. The master cut design also produces an easy-to-handle
granular-type chip in most metals, as opposed to the conventional sliver-type chips. Throughout its life, the master cut gives faster stock removal and less operator fatigue, and maintains a good fi nish on the widest possible variety of workpiece materials.
Aluminium Cut The WIDIA aluminium cut burs are outstanding on soft or non-ferrous type materials. Use the aluminium cut design on aluminium, magnesium, brass, lead, and most plastics.
