Covered with hundreds of extremely sharp tungsten carbide teeth, these carving burrs remove stock quickly and stay sharp considerably longer than HSS burrs. They have a pattern of regularly spaced teeth aligned in rows, which makes the burrs less prone to loading and easier to clean (we recommend using a brass brush to quickly remove any build-up, if needed).
They can be used on softwood, hardwood, plastic and composites. Grits are color-coded for quick identification; the coarse burrs (red) are for aggressive material removal, while the fine burrs (blue) leave a smoother finish that looks like it was sanded. We offer a wide range of profiles; shanks are either 1/4" or 1/8" in diameter. Maximum 25,000 rpm for head diameters less than 13/16"; maximum 10,000 rpm for head diameters of 13/16" or greater.

They're suitable for softwood, hardwood, plastic and composites, making them versatile for a range of carving projects.
Red (coarse) burrs are for aggressive material removal, while blue (fine) burrs leave a smoother finish comparable to sanding; choose coarse for quick shaping and fine for finishing passes.
A brass brush quickly removes any buildup from the teeth, since the regularly spaced rows resist loading in the first place.
Maximum speed is 25,000 rpm for head diameters under 13/16", or 10,000 rpm for heads 13/16" or larger.
Carving burrs are offered with either 1/4" or 1/8" diameter shanks to fit different rotary tools.
