M.a. Ford. 48375027 Carbide Bur SL-3-D Taper Double Cut

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 48375027 is a carbide abrasive bur with a conical radius end head shape, conforming to industry specification SL-3-D. It is designed for rotary die grinder and pneumatic tool applications where aggressive material removal is required. The double cut tooth style produces faster stock removal and a smoother finish compared to single cut configurations. With a cutting diameter of 0.375 inches and an overall length of 3.1875 inches, this bur is suited for weld blending, porting, deburring, and surface prep work. It is installed and operated by machinists, tool-and-die professionals, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working in industrial and manufacturing environments.

This bur is intended for use on a broad range of materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. The carbide head construction gives it durability in high-heat and high-hardness applications where high-speed steel tooling would degrade quickly. It fits standard 1/4 inch shank collets found on most die grinders and rotary hand tools, making it a straightforward drop-in for typical shop and field setups. It is well suited for both bench work and in-place material removal on fabricated assemblies.

Key Features

• Conical radius end geometry per industry specification SL-3-D for taper grinding and blending
• Double cut tooth style for fast material removal across ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces
• Carbide head construction rated for hard materials including superalloys and titanium
• 1/4 inch shank diameter fits standard die grinder collets
• Maximum operating speed of 30,000 RPM
• Uncoated head for consistent cutting performance without coating delamination concerns

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard die grinders and rotary tools accepting a 1/4 inch shank. Compatible with applications involving steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium as stated in the product specifications.

Installation Notes

This bur must be installed in a collet that matches the 1/4 inch shank diameter and tightened securely before use. Always confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 30,000 RPM maximum rating for this bur before operating. Wear appropriate eye protection and hand protection when operating rotary carbide burs, as carbide tooling can fracture under lateral load or improper use. Inspect the bur for cracks or chips before each use and do not exceed the rated speed.
