OVERVIEW

High-Performance Industrial Material Removal

The Walter 01V006 Carbide Burr (SC-3 Double Cut) represents the pinnacle of precision engineering in the field of industrial abrasives. Designed for heavy-duty applications in manufacturing, maintenance, and repair operations (MRO), this tool is crafted from the highest grade of tungsten carbide. In industrial environments where downtime equates to lost revenue, the durability of your tooling is paramount. Walter Surface Technologies has engineered this burr to withstand the intense heat and mechanical stress generated during high-speed grinding, ensuring a longer service life compared to standard carbide burrs. The strict manufacturing tolerances guarantee that every burr maintains perfect concentricity, which is critical for protecting the bearings of expensive pneumatic or electric die grinders.

The SC-3 shape—cylindrical with a radius end—is particularly valuable for complex machining tasks. It allows operators to machine contours and joined surfaces without digging into the workpiece, a common issue with flat-end burrs. This versatility makes it an essential component in any machinist's or millwright's toolkit. Furthermore, the "Double Cut" geometry features flutes cut in two directions, creating a diamond pattern. This design breaks down chips into granular particles rather than long, sharp slivers. For the industrial operator, this means less clogging of the tool flutes and a significantly smoother cutting action that requires less downward pressure, thereby reducing operator fatigue during long shifts.

Safety and efficiency are at the core of the Walter design philosophy. The precise balance of the 01V006 minimizes vibration, which is a leading cause of Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) in industrial settings. By choosing this premium carbide burr, facility managers are not only investing in a tool that removes material faster but also in one that promotes a safer, more ergonomic working environment. Whether used for enlarging holes, smoothing welds, or general deburring on stainless steel and high-tensile alloys, this burr delivers consistent, high-quality results that meet the rigorous standards of modern industry.

FAQ

Single cut burrs have flutes running in one direction and are generally used for general purpose removal on softer materials. Double cut burrs, like this Walter model, have cross-cut flutes that create smaller chips, provide a smoother finish, and offer better operator control, making them ideal for harder metals like steel and stainless steel.

While it can cut aluminum, double cut burrs may clog (load up) with soft, non-ferrous metals. For aluminum, a single cut or specifically designed 'aluminum cut' burr with wider flute spacing is recommended to prevent clogging.

Carbide burrs generally require high speeds to function correctly. Depending on the diameter, speeds often range from 15,000 to 30,000 RPM. Always refer to the specific speed chart provided by Walter for the burr diameter to ensure safety and optimal tool life.

The SC-3 is a cylindrical shape with a radius end. While the side can be used on flat surfaces, the radius end is specifically designed for contouring, working in corners, or grinding fillets. For purely flat work, a cylindrical flat-end burr (Shape A) might be preferred.

Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses or a face shield, as carbide burrs produce high-velocity chips. Hearing protection and gloves are also highly recommended due to the noise and vibration associated with die grinder operations.

Yes, provided your die grinder has a collet that matches the shank diameter of the burr (typically 1/4 inch for this size of industrial burr). Ensure the burr is inserted fully into the collet for safety.

Tungsten carbide is significantly harder and more heat-resistant than high-speed steel (HSS). This allows it to cut faster, last much longer, and maintain its cutting edge even when working on hard materials like stainless steel.

Chatter is often caused by running the tool too slowly, using excessive pressure, or a worn tool. Ensure you are running at the recommended high RPM, let the tool do the work without forcing it, and ensure your workpiece is securely clamped.
