OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Metal Removal Solution

Upgrade your grinding arsenal with the Walter Surface Technologies 01V615 Carbide Burr. This industrial-grade tool features the popular SF-5 Tree Shape with Radius End, a favorite among welders and fabricators for its ability to handle a wide variety of geometries. Whether you are prepping a weld joint, cleaning up slag, or blending a finished weld, the radius end allows for smooth transitions and effective grinding in tight corners.

The "DC" in the product code stands for Double Cut, which is the preferred cut style for most ferrous metal applications. Double cut burrs feature teeth cut in two intersecting directions. This design serves two purposes: it increases the rate of material removal by creating more cutting edges, and it produces a finer surface finish than a standard single cut burr. For the operator, this translates to a tool that is easier to control, cuts faster, and leaves a surface that requires less secondary finishing.

One of the standout features of this model is the 6-inch extended shank. Standard burrs can leave you struggling to reach the bottom of a deep bore or the inside of a narrow channel. The extra length provided by the 01V615 eliminates this frustration, giving you the access you need to perform quality work in difficult spots. Despite its length, the tool is balanced to run true, ensuring that you can grind with confidence and precision.

Applications

Weld Preparation: Opening up cracks or porosity for repair welding.
Deburring: Removing sharp edges from drilled holes or cut pipes.
Contouring: Blending complex shapes in mold and die work.
Deep Access: Grinding inside tubes, cylinders, and housings.

Invest in Walter's superior manufacturing quality for a burr that stays sharp longer and performs consistently under load.

FAQ

SF-5 refers to the standard shape and size code for the burr. 'SF' indicates a Tree Shape with a Radius End, and '5' typically denotes a head diameter of 1/2 inch and a length of cut of 1 inch.

Double Cut burrs have cross-flutes that break chips into smaller pieces. This allows for faster material removal, a smoother finish, and better operator control compared to single cut burrs.

The extended shank (L6) is essential for reaching deep into pipes, castings, or machinery where a standard 2-inch or 3-inch burr cannot reach.

This tungsten carbide burr is designed for use on ferrous metals, including carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-strength alloys.

For a 1/2" diameter carbide burr, the recommended speed is typically between 15,000 and 22,000 RPM. Always consult the manufacturer's specific speed charts.

While it may physically fit if the drill chuck accepts 1/4" shanks, standard drills usually do not spin fast enough (RPM) for carbide burrs to work effectively. A die grinder is the recommended tool.

Double cut burrs can clog when used on soft, non-ferrous metals like aluminum. For aluminum, an 'Alu-Cut' or single cut burr with wide flutes is recommended to prevent loading.

Tungsten carbide is extremely hard but can be brittle. Store the burr in a way that prevents it from banging against other tools to avoid chipping the cutting edges.
