OVERVIEW

Walter Allsteel Carbide Burr SC-3 NF: Precision Grinding for Non-Ferrous Metals

The Walter Allsteel Carbide Burr SC-3 NF (SKU: 01W361) represents the pinnacle of rotary file technology for soft metal applications. Manufactured in the USA, this high-performance tool is engineered to address the specific challenges associated with grinding aluminum, magnesium, and other non-ferrous alloys. Unlike standard double-cut burrs that can quickly become clogged with soft material, the 01W361 features a specialized open-flute geometry. This design promotes rapid chip evacuation, preventing the material from loading up between the cutting edges. The result is a burr that cuts cooler, faster, and longer, maintaining its aggressive material removal rate throughout its lifespan.

The SC-3 shape, defined as a cylindrical head with a radius end, offers exceptional versatility for industrial users. With a 3/8-inch head diameter and a 3/4-inch length of cut, it is perfectly sized for a wide range of fabrication tasks. The cylindrical sides allow for efficient surface leveling and edge breaking, while the radius nose enables the operator to grind into fillets, contours, and rounded corners without gouging the workpiece. Mounted on a standard 1/4-inch hardened steel shank, this burr is compatible with virtually all industrial die grinders, ensuring seamless integration into your existing tool arsenal.

Walter Surface Technologies is renowned for its commitment to quality, and the Allsteel line is no exception. Each burr undergoes rigorous inspection to ensure concentricity and balance. A balanced burr is critical for high-speed applications, as it significantly reduces vibration. Lower vibration levels not only protect the bearings of your pneumatic tools but also reduce operator fatigue and the risk of repetitive strain injuries. Whether you are deburring a machined aluminum part or blending a weld on a custom fabrication project, the Walter 01W361 delivers the control and finish professionals demand.

Investing in high-quality carbide tooling like the Walter 01W361 is a cost-effective decision for any production environment. The superior grade of tungsten carbide used in its construction resists wear and heat, extending the interval between tool changes. For workshops processing significant amounts of aluminum, this burr eliminates the downtime associated with cleaning clogged tools and ensures a consistent, professional finish on every part.

FAQ

NF stands for 'Non-Ferrous'. This indicates the cut pattern on the burr is specifically designed with wider flutes to grind soft metals like aluminum without clogging.

While tungsten carbide is hard enough to cut steel, the NF geometry is optimized for soft metals. Using it on hard steel may result in chipping the teeth due to the aggressive rake angle. For steel, a Double Cut burr is recommended.

The SC-3 shape is a cylinder with a radius (ball) end. It typically measures 3/8" in diameter and 3/4" in length.

For a 3/8" carbide burr, the recommended speed is typically between 20,000 and 30,000 RPM. Always refer to your die grinder's specs and start at a lower speed if unsure.

Yes, the 01W361 has a standard 1/4" shank, which is the most common size for pneumatic and electric die grinders in North America.

Generally, no. The Non-Ferrous cut is designed to evacuate chips naturally. However, for very deep cuts or sticky alloys, a small amount of lubricant can further extend tool life.

The Walter Allsteel Carbide Burr 01W361 is made in the USA.

The radius end allows you to grind into rounded corners and fillets without digging in or gouging the material, which can happen with a flat-end burr.
