Worcester, Massachusetts – Saint-Gobain Abrasives, one of the world’s largest abrasives manufacturers, has introduced a new line of Norton Carbide Burrs designed for surface removal on demanding production runs with fewer changeovers.
The hardness of a tungsten carbide substrate, stronger tooth formulation due to a decreased tooth wedge angle, and numerous cutting edges provide the new Norton Double-Cut Carbide Burrs with a significantly extended life and better stock removal performance.
The Norton Double-Cut Carbide Burrs are designed to efficiently remove surface stock and weld splatter, deburr and chamfer applications, and medium-to-light cleaning. Tool geometries meet the growing demands for stainless steel, steel, cast steel, and composite applications. The new burrs perform well at higher temperatures and can be used longer than high-speed steel tools.
The Carbide Burrs can be used on handheld tools such as the new Norton Pneumatic Die Grinder or on automated CNC machines. The Norton Carbide Burr line encompasses 30 different tools and is offered in seven types including: SA Cylindrical without End Cut, SB Cylindrical with End Cut, SC Ball-Nosed Cylindrical, SD Ball Shape, SF Ball-Nosed Tree, SG Tree with Taper, and SL Ball-Nosed Cone style. A kit is also available, including the most popular five burr types for smaller job requirements.
