Carbide Burr Single Cut Cylinder | 1/8″ Shank, 1/4″ Head

Carbide Burr – Single Cut Cylinder (1/8″ Shank)

Precision Cutting for Ferrous Metals

The Single Cut Cylinder Carbide Burr delivers fast, controlled material removal on tough metals. Because it uses a single-cut flute pattern, it clears chips efficiently while giving you smooth, predictable control.

Durable Carbide Head with Strong Shank

The carbide head handles hard use and high speeds with ease. Meanwhile, the HSS shank adds strength and stability, so the burr runs true and resists vibration during detailed work.

Ideal for Steel, Cast Iron, and More

Single-cut geometry works best on ferrous materials. Therefore, this burr excels on cast iron, steel, copper, brass, and similar metals. It removes material quickly without loading up.

Consistent Size for Detail Work

With a 1/8″ shank and a 1/4″ cylindrical head, this burr fits most rotary tools and die grinders. As a result, it works well for slotting, shaping, deburring, and surface cleanup in tight areas.

Convenient Storage

The included plastic storage box keeps the burr protected and organized. Consequently, cutting edges stay sharp and ready for the next job.

Uses in 1911 Pistol Smithing

Controlled Metal Removal
The single cut carbide burr allows precise metal removal on 1911 components. Because it cuts smoothly, it removes material without chatter. As a result, you maintain control and avoid gouging critical surfaces.

Frame and Slide Relief Work
Gunsmiths often use this burr to relieve tight or high spots inside the frame. For example, it works well in non‑critical internal areas where files cannot reach. Additionally, it helps clean rough machining marks left from factory work.

Grip Safety and Thumb Safety Fitting
During grip safety fitting, the cylinder shape allows controlled removal in curved pockets. Likewise, it helps relieve thumb safety channels when extra clearance is required. Therefore, fitting becomes faster and more precise.

Trigger Bow Track Cleanup (Non‑Critical Areas)
This burr works well for initial cleanup of rough frame areas near the trigger track. However, it should only be used before final stoning. Consequently, you save time while still finishing with proper stones for precision.

Mainspring Housing and Magwell Blending
When blending a magwell to the frame, the carbide burr removes excess metal quickly. Afterward, you can switch to files or abrasive rolls for final shaping. This staged approach improves both speed and finish quality.

Feed Ramp Area Prep (Very Light Use Only)
In some cases, gunsmiths use this burr to remove obvious burrs or casting flash near the feed ramp area. However, it should never be used for final feed ramp geometry. Instead, it prepares the surface for proper polishing tools.

Weld Cleanup and Modification Work
After TIG welding frame or slide areas, this burr removes excess weld material efficiently. As a result, it speeds up reshaping before final hand filing and polishing.

Bottom Line:
In short, this single cut cylinder carbide burr offers durability, control, and clean cutting on ferrous metals—making it a dependable choice for precision grinding and shaping tasks.
