Built to the SL-4 industry specification, it features a conical radius end (taper) head geometry with a 1\/2 inch cutting diameter, a 14-degree included angle, and a 1\/4 inch shank for standard die grinder or rotary tool collets. The uncoated carbide head delivers consistent cutting performance and resists wear during high-speed operation up to 22,000 RPM. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and fabricators install this bur for precision grinding, blending, and finishing tasks in production and maintenance environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bur is suited for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and other hard materials. The single-cut tooth style produces a smoother surface finish with lower vibration compared to double-cut patterns, making it a practical choice for finishing passes and contour work. Its 3-1\/4 inch overall length provides adequate reach into recessed cavities and deep profiles. This bur is appropriate for both production machining environments and maintenance-repair-operations (MRO) applications where consistent material removal on tough alloys is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSL-4 industry specification conical radius end (taper) geometry for contour and cavity work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-cut tooth style delivers smooth finish with reduced chatter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncoated carbide head rated for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch shank fits standard die grinder and rotary tool collets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum operating speed of 22,000 RPM for high-speed material removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14-degree included angle optimized for controlled stock removal in taper profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an SL-4-specification replacement bur compatible with standard 1\/4 inch collet die grinders and rotary tools used in metalworking, fabrication, and MRO applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators familiar with rotary cutting tools. Ensure the die grinder or rotary tool is fully powered down and unplugged before inserting or removing the bur from the collet. Confirm the collet size matches the 1\/4 inch shank diameter and that the tool spindle speed does not exceed the rated maximum RPM. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before beginning any grinding or deburring operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: SL-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Conical Radius End (Taper)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single Cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.1875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum RPM\u003c\/strong\u003e: 22,000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, Non-Ferrous Metals, Superalloys and Titanium, Hard Materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: M.A. FORD.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 48500020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730508546354,"sku":"48500020","price":83.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0b52cee8bcb1e8fb1806300cb3800f17.jpg?v=1788718687","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-48500020-carbide-abrasive-bur-sl-4-taper","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
