Walter SC-5 Non-Ferrous Carbide Burr - 1/2 Inch Aluminum Cut

Don't Let Aluminum Clog Your Grind

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 starts to skate and chatter, and you're left picking aluminum out of the teeth with a scribe. The Walter Allsteel SC-5 NF Carbide Burr (01W308) is the solution to that headache. Designed specifically for "gummy" metals, this burr features a specialized Non-Ferrous cut that acts more like a shovel than a file, digging out large chips of aluminum and ejecting them instantly to prevent loading. It cuts fast, runs cool, and stays clean.

This specific model sports the SC-5 shape, which is a cylinder with a rounded (radius) nose. This is one of the most useful shapes for fabrication work. You can use the straight side to flush down heavy weld beads on flat plate, and then use the rounded nose to blend inside corners or clean up cope cuts on tubing without gouging the material. With a 1/2-inch head diameter, it’s beefy enough to hog out material quickly, making it ideal for aluminum boat repairs, trailer fabrication, and custom automotive intake porting.

Built by Walter Surface Technologies in the USA, this burr is tough. The 1/4-inch shank fits your standard pneumatic or electric die grinder perfectly. Because it is balanced so well, it runs smooth at high speeds, giving you better control over the cut and leaving a smoother finish that requires less sanding afterwards. Whether you are prepping a joint for TIG welding or cleaning up spatter and excess reinforcement, the 01W308 is the right tool for the job. Stop wasting time cleaning your tools and start removing metal.
