    Tungsten Carbide rotary Burrs

    okay , I refuse to pay 70-80 bucks for "one" Tungstan carbide rotary burr at local engineering store.

    Does anyone know where I can source reasonable quality rotary burrs from locally at a reasonable pri$e,bearing in mind they won't be used all that often but I want something that won't let me down.

    I'm not familiar with quality of the Tunsgten carbide burrs from china or hongkong ? has anyone had any exsperience with them that would like to share from own experience.

    thanks in advance

    Just talking to a friend , he recommended this mob:


    Toolfix;

    They might have what I'm looking for at a reasonable price.

    I can do a set of 10 x 1/4" shank for A$120 allowing US$20 for air-mail and 0.85 exchange rate. Or 12 x 1/8" shank for A$90. I don't stock them. Delivery 3-4 weeks.

    I can provide the cutting head lengths and diameters not in the kits also. There are ten shapes and a multitude of cutting head sizes. The kits are the usual double cut for ferrous metals. Single cut aluminium use burrs are available also. Aluminium and other metals with similar chipping characteristics clog double cut burrs as do some plastics. Aluminium cut by quote.

    Ther ones I quoted are "Star USA" which brand is usually for US made tools packaged under their house brand. Star Tool Supply has another house brand "Meda" which are imports from anywhere in the world.

    I will e-mail and ask where their TC burrs are made.

    Khos, will be interesting to see how the Chinese burrs stack up, I have a Tungsten Carbide burr I bought 30 odd years ago, have done a great deal of work with it, the shank is a bit rough but it is still sharp and well and truly serviceable, I paid around $40 when average wage was around $100/week, BTW what are you deburring, Regards Frank.
