M.a. Ford. 46500027 Carbide Abrasive Bur Tree 1/2 in

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 46500027 is a double-cut carbide abrasive bur with a tree-shaped head and pointed end, designed for aggressive material removal and contouring in demanding metalworking applications. The 1/2-inch cutting diameter and 1-inch length of cut make it well suited for shaping, deburring, and grinding in tight or complex geometries. Running at up to 22,000 RPM, it delivers consistent stock removal on hard and abrasive workpiece materials. The uncoated carbide head maintains cutting integrity across a wide range of substrates. This bur ships individually and is ready for immediate use in a standard 1/4-inch collet or die grinder chuck.

This bur is intended for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and other hard materials. It is commonly used by machinists, tool-and-die makers, and fabricators for porting, blending welds, removing flash, and finishing interior profiles. The tree-with-pointed-end geometry allows access to recessed areas and angled surfaces that flat or cylindrical profiles cannot reach. It is appropriate for both production shop and maintenance repair operations where a 1/4-inch shank die grinder or rotary tool is in use.

Compatibility

Designed for use in any die grinder, rotary tool, or flex-shaft machine equipped with a 1/4-inch collet. Conforms to industry specification SG-5-D.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified machinist or metalworking professional familiar with rotary cutting tools. Ensure the die grinder or rotary tool is fully powered off and unplugged before inserting or removing the bur from the collet. Verify that the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 22,000 RPM maximum rating of this bur. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when operating carbide rotary burs.
