01V052 - Walter SL-5 Double Cut Carbide Burr | Taper Radius End

Precision Engineering for Industrial Material Removal

The Walter 01V052 Carbide Burr (Shape SL-5 DC) represents the pinnacle of rotary file technology, designed specifically for heavy-duty industrial applications where precision and speed are paramount. Manufactured from the highest quality tungsten carbide, this burr is engineered to withstand the rigorous demands of metal fabrication, mold making, and maintenance operations. The SL-5 shape, characterized as a Taper with a Radius End (often referred to as a Cone with Radius), is particularly effective for working in confined areas, contouring complex geometries, and deburring the interior of holes or channels where a standard cylindrical burr cannot reach.

One of the defining features of Walter's carbide burr line is the exceptional concentricity. Unlike inferior burrs that may wobble at high RPMs, causing chatter and damaging the bearings of expensive die grinders, Walter burrs are ground to exacting tolerances. This balance ensures smooth operation, which not only extends the life of the pneumatic or electric tool but also improves the quality of the surface finish. The 01V052 features a Double Cut (DC) geometry, often called a diamond pattern. This cross-cut design breaks down chips into granular sizes rather than long, sharp slivers. This results in easier chip evacuation, reduced loading of the flutes, and significantly less operator fatigue as the tool requires less pressure to cut effectively.

This tool is optimized for use on hard materials, including stainless steel and high-tensile alloys, as well as standard mild steel. Whether the task involves enlarging holes, leveling weld seams in tight corners, or general fine finishing, the Walter SL-5 DC delivers consistent performance. The heat resistance of the tungsten carbide substrate ensures that the cutting edges remain sharp even under thermal stress, providing a long service life and reducing the frequency of tool changes. For MRO professionals seeking reliability and efficiency, this carbide burr is an essential addition to the tool crib.
