OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Material Removal with Walter Carbide Burrs

The Walter Allsteel Carbide Burr (SF-6) is engineered for high-performance metalworking in industrial environments. Designed with a robust 3/8-inch shank, this burr provides superior stability and reduced deflection during heavy grinding operations, making it a preferred choice for demanding fabrication tasks. The SF-6 shape, known as a tree with a radius end, is particularly effective for processing contoured surfaces, rounding off edges, and blending fillets where a standard cylindrical burr cannot reach.

Manufactured from premium tungsten carbide, this tool is built to withstand high temperatures and maintain a sharp cutting edge longer than standard high-speed steel alternatives. The "Allsteel" designation indicates its versatility; it is optimized to perform exceptionally well on mild steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. This eliminates the need for operators to switch tools constantly when working with different ferrous metals, streamlining the production process.

The Double Cut geometry is a critical feature of this product. Unlike single cut burrs that produce long, sharp stringers, the double cut design incorporates cross-cut flutes that break material into small, granular chips. This not only makes waste disposal easier and safer but also significantly reduces tool chatter. The result is a smoother finish on the workpiece and less fatigue for the operator, allowing for prolonged use without compromising precision or comfort.

Whether used for enlarging holes, removing weld seams, or general deburring, the Walter 01W417 delivers consistent, aggressive removal rates. Its precise concentricity ensures smooth rotation at high RPMs, protecting your pneumatic or electric die grinders from unnecessary wear.

FAQ

Single cut burrs have one set of flutes and produce long chips, often used for general material removal. Double cut burrs, like this Walter model, have cross-cut flutes that produce small chips, reduce chatter, and leave a smoother finish.

The Allsteel grade is designed for versatility and works excellently on mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and other ferrous metals.

The SF-6 shape is a tree style with a radius end. It is ideal for grinding contoured surfaces, blending round edges, and reaching into angled areas that flat burrs cannot access.

This specific model (01W417) has a 3/8" shank. You must ensure your die grinder collet is sized for 3/8" tools, as standard die grinders often come with 1/4" collets.

RPM depends on the head diameter, but generally, carbide burrs perform best at high speeds (often between 15,000 and 25,000 RPM) to prevent chipping and ensure smooth cutting.

While it can cut aluminum, it is not recommended. Double cut burrs tend to clog (load up) with soft non-ferrous metals like aluminum. For aluminum, a dedicated 'Alu-Cut' or single cut burr is better.

Tungsten carbide is significantly harder and more heat-resistant than high-speed steel (HSS), allowing it to last much longer and cut faster, especially on hard metals like stainless steel.

Yes, always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses and a face shield. Carbide burrs spin at high speeds and produce hot metal chips. Hearing protection and gloves are also recommended.
