OVERVIEW

Grind Aluminum Without the Clog

Every welder knows the frustration of taking a standard carbide burr to a piece of aluminum. Within seconds, the flutes pack full of soft metal, the tool stops cutting, and you're left with a useless, overheated burr. The Walter Allsteel™ SA-3 Non-Ferrous Carbide Burr (01W303) is the solution to this common fabrication headache. Designed specifically for soft, gummy metals, this burr eats through aluminum, copper, and brass without loading up.

Why Choose the NF Cut?
The wide, open flutes of the Non-Ferrous cut allow large chips to clear the tool instantly. This means you get continuous, aggressive material removal from the moment you pull the trigger until the job is done. Whether you are prepping a joint for TIG welding, cleaning up a casting, or deburring a fresh cut, this tool leaves a smooth, clean surface ready for the next step.

Built for Performance
Walter Surface Technologies manufactures these burrs in the USA to ensure perfect balance. A balanced burr means less vibration in your hands, reducing fatigue during long shifts. The SA-3 cylindrical shape is a workshop staple, perfect for getting into flat areas and smoothing out edges. Pair this with your favorite die grinder and experience the difference a purpose-built tool makes on non-ferrous projects.

FAQ

Double Cut burrs have cross-cut flutes designed to break chips into small granular pieces, ideal for steel and hard metals. Non-Ferrous (NF) burrs have open, aggressive flutes to prevent soft materials like aluminum from clogging the tool.

SA-3 refers to a specific industry-standard shape and size: a cylindrical burr (no end cut) with a 3/8-inch diameter and 3/4-inch length of cut.

It is not recommended. While carbide is hard enough to cut steel, the aggressive NF flute angle may chip on hard metals. Use a Double Cut Allsteel burr for stainless steel applications.

For a 3/8" carbide burr, the recommended speed is typically between 20,000 and 30,000 RPM. Always refer to the specific speed chart for the material being worked.

No, the SA-3 shape is a cylinder with a flat, smooth end. If you need end-cutting capabilities, look for an SB shape (Cylindrical with End Cut).

Yes, Walter Allsteel carbide burrs are manufactured in the USA.

This burr features a standard 1/4-inch hardened steel shank, compatible with most pneumatic and electric die grinders.
