M.a. Ford 69050030L3 Carbide Abrasive Bur Ball SD-42-F

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 69050030L3 is a solid carbide abrasive bur with a ball-shaped head, designed for precision material removal in metalworking, tool-and-die, and fabrication applications. The head is uncoated solid carbide with a fine cut tooth style, making it well suited for smooth finishing passes and deburring in tight areas. The cutting diameter and shank diameter are both 0.125 inches, allowing it to fit standard rotary tool collets and die grinder chucks without adapters. Machinists, tool grinders, and fabricators use this bur for contouring, blending, and surface finishing on hard metals and composite materials.

This bur is intended for use with handheld die grinders, rotary tools, and flex-shaft machines in both shop and field settings. The ball head geometry allows access to concave surfaces, rounded cavities, and inside radii where flat or cylindrical burs cannot reach. The fine cut tooth style reduces chatter and produces a cleaner surface finish compared to coarse cut variants. It is packaged individually and is appropriate for low-volume precision work as well as high-rotation production environments where controlled stock removal is required.

Key Features

• Solid carbide head construction for hardness and wear resistance on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Ball head shape for contouring, blending, and working inside concave profiles
• Fine cut tooth style for smooth surface finish and reduced chatter
• 0.125 inch cutting diameter and 0.125 inch shank diameter for compatibility with standard small-collet rotary tools
• Uncoated head - no coating flaking risk during high-heat grinding passes
• Conforms to industry specification SD-42-F

Compatibility

Designed to meet industry specification SD-42-F. Compatible with die grinders, rotary tools, and flex-shaft machines accepting a 0.125 inch shank collet.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, or tool-and-die technicians using standard rotary tool or die grinder equipment. Ensure the tool is fully powered down and the collet is released before inserting or removing the bur. Secure the shank fully into the collet to the recommended engagement depth before operation - an inadequately seated shank can cause runout or ejection under load. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow shop safety protocols when operating rotary abrasive tools.
