OVERVIEW

Precision Material Removal with Walter Allsteel Carbide Burrs

The Walter 01W316 Allsteel Carbide Burr SF-5 NF is a high-performance rotary file designed specifically for the demanding task of grinding and deburring non-ferrous metals. Manufactured in the USA, these burrs represent the pinnacle of precision engineering, utilizing advanced machining processes to ensure exact cutting angles and superior balance. The SF-5 shape, known as a Tree Shape with a Radius End, is incredibly versatile, allowing operators to grind contoured surfaces and access difficult-to-reach areas with ease.

What sets this specific model apart is its "NF" (Non-Ferrous) cut pattern. Standard double-cut burrs often struggle with soft materials like aluminum, copper, and magnesium because the material tends to "load" or clog the flutes, rendering the tool ineffective. The Walter NF cut features a more open flute geometry that efficiently evacuates chips, preventing buildup and ensuring a consistent, aggressive cutting action throughout the tool's life. This results in faster stock removal rates and a smoother finish on the workpiece.

Durability is a hallmark of the Allsteel line. The high-grade tungsten carbide construction ensures exceptional wear resistance, maintaining a sharp cutting edge even under heavy use. The 1/4-inch shank is precision-ground to ensure perfect concentricity, reducing vibration in the die grinder. This not only extends the life of the tool and the grinder but also reduces operator fatigue during extended shifts. Whether used in a CNC machine or a handheld pneumatic die grinder, the Walter 01W316 delivers reliable, chatter-free performance.

Key Applications:

  • Deburring aluminum castings and machined parts
  • Grinding fillets and contours on non-ferrous structures
  • Surface preparation and blending on copper and brass
  • Rapid stock removal without flute loading

FAQ

Double Cut is designed for steel and harder metals to produce small chips. NF (Non-Ferrous) Cut has wider flutes specifically designed to prevent soft metals like aluminum from clogging the tool.

SF-5 refers to a specific industry-standard shape and size: a Tree Shape with a Radius End, typically measuring 1/2" in diameter and 1" in length.

It is not recommended. While the carbide is hard enough, the NF cut geometry is too aggressive for hard metals and may chip. Use a Double Cut burr for stainless steel.

This burr has a standard 1/4-inch shank, making it compatible with most pneumatic and electric die grinders.

You are likely using a standard cut or double cut burr. Aluminum is soft and sticky; you need a Non-Ferrous (NF) cut burr like the 01W316 to evacuate chips effectively.

While specific RPM depends on the tool and application, 1/2" carbide burrs typically operate best between 15,000 and 22,000 RPM.

Yes, Walter Allsteel carbide burrs are precision-engineered and manufactured in the USA.

Yes, the open flute design of the NF cut actually works quite well on hard woods and plastics, similar to how it works on aluminum.
