OVERVIEW

Premium American-Made Carbide Tooling

The Walter 01W341 Allsteel Carbide Burr is a high-performance rotary file designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial metalworking. Part of Walter's renowned Allsteel series, this burr is engineered specifically for use on steel, stainless steel, and other ferrous metals. Manufactured with pride in the USA, Walter carbide burrs are distinguished by their superior tungsten carbide grade and precise manufacturing tolerances. This attention to detail ensures that every burr runs true, minimizing vibration in the die grinder and reducing wear on both the tool and the operator.

Optimized Double Cut Geometry

This specific model features a Double Cut (DC) flute pattern. Unlike single cut burrs that produce long, sharp slivers, the double cut design incorporates cross-cut flutes that break material down into small, granular chips. This chip-breaking action serves two critical purposes: it prevents the tool from loading up with material, and it significantly improves operator control. The reduced cutting forces mean the burr is less likely to "climb" or pull across the workpiece, allowing for smoother, more precise material removal. This makes the 01W341 an excellent choice for applications requiring a fine surface finish alongside rapid stock removal.

Versatile SF-1 Shape

The SF-1 shape, known as a "Tree with Radius End," is one of the most versatile profiles available for metal fabrication. The pointed nose allows access into tight corners and angled intersections, while the radiused profile enables the operator to grind contoured surfaces and blend fillets seamlessly. With a head diameter of 1/4 inch and a length of cut of 5/8 inch, this burr is compact enough for detailed work yet robust enough for general deburring tasks. The standard 1/4-inch shank ensures compatibility with the vast majority of pneumatic and electric die grinders found in industrial shops.

Applications and Durability

Ideal for removing welds, enlarging holes, and deburring complex geometries, the Walter Allsteel burr is a staple in fabrication shops, foundries, and maintenance departments. The advanced carbide composition resists heat buildup, maintaining its cutting edge far longer than high-speed steel alternatives. Whether you are prepping a joint for welding or cleaning up a finished part, the consistency and durability of the Walter 01W341 provide a cost-effective solution for professional metalworkers.

FAQ

Single cut burrs have one set of flutes and produce long chips, ideal for heavy stock removal on soft materials. Double cut burrs, like this Walter 01W341, have cross-cut flutes that produce small chips, offering better control, reduced vibration, and a smoother finish on harder metals like steel.

It is not recommended. The Allsteel series is designed for ferrous metals. Using it on aluminum or soft non-ferrous metals can cause the flutes to clog (load up) quickly. For aluminum, look for a burr with an 'Alu-Cut' or non-ferrous open flute design.

SF-1 is a standard industry code where 'S' stands for Solid Carbide (usually), 'F' denotes the shape (Tree with Radius End), and '1' indicates the specific size dimensions (typically 1/4" diameter x 5/8" length).

For a 1/4 inch diameter carbide burr, the general recommended speed is between 20,000 and 30,000 RPM. Always refer to the manufacturer's specific safety charts, as excessive speed can cause tooth failure and too low speed can cause chipping.

While it physically fits a 1/4" chuck, electric drills typically run at much lower RPMs (under 3,000) than required for effective carbide burr operation. Carbide burrs work best in high-speed die grinders (pneumatic or electric) to achieve the proper surface speed for cutting.

The Walter Allsteel series is optimized for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and other ferrous alloys. It is designed to withstand the heat and hardness of these materials while maintaining a sharp cutting edge.

Walter Allsteel carbide burrs are proudly made in the USA, ensuring high manufacturing standards and consistent quality control.
