M.a. Ford. 43500020L6 Carbide Ball Bur Single Cut 1/2 in

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 43500020L6 is a single-cut carbide abrasive bur with a ball head shape, designed for material removal, deburring, and surface blending in metalworking applications. The bur features a 1/2 inch cutting diameter and a 1/4 inch shank diameter, making it compatible with standard die grinders and rotary tools. With an overall length of 6-7/16 inches and a length of cut of 7/16 inches, it offers extended reach in confined or deep-cavity work areas. The uncoated carbide head delivers consistent cutting performance across a broad range of materials. Rated to 22000 RPM for general use, this bur suits production and maintenance environments where precision material removal is required.

This bur is suited for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and other hard materials. It is a common choice for metal fabricators, tool-and-die shops, maintenance machinists, and welding professionals who need reliable deburring or contouring on irregular or curved surfaces. The ball shape is particularly effective for creating or blending radii, cleaning weld joints, and working in concave profiles. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both production floor use and bench work.

Key Features

• Ball head shape for contouring, radius blending, and concave surface work
• Single-cut tooth style for smooth material removal with reduced chatter
• Uncoated carbide head rated for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium
• Maximum 22000 RPM general rating for use with standard die grinders
• Extended 6-7/16 inch overall length for reach into deep cavities or confined spaces
• 1/4 inch shank diameter fits standard collets on most rotary and die grinder tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use carbide bur for die grinders and rotary tools accepting a 1/4 inch shank. Suitable for metalworking applications involving steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. Meets industry specification SD-5L6.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians using a compatible die grinder or rotary tool with a 1/4 inch collet. Always ensure the tool is powered off and depressurized before inserting or removing the bur. Inspect the shank and collet for wear or damage before each use. Do not exceed the rated RPM listed for the bur or the tool, whichever is lower.
