Anyone know where I can find a decent Carbide Burr Set for a decent price? All the ones I have found are rather expensive. The set I had was stolen.

... Still need that new Tool forum.

Thanks.

I did a quick Google. First five hits. First was Amazon $20-$30.Carbide tooling isn't cheap

Hunter's Campfire is the Tool Forum.

Check out a,place called Drill Hog USA.......





Haha. Couldn’t stand it. 😂🤣😂

Bunch of smartasses on here.

Check Grizzly Industrial and Baileigh Industrial

I’m just funning.

I get mine from Amazon

I'm sure they're just made in China...but maybe Taiwan...no brand name, sold by McMaster-Carr , internet order,,,,1/4 " cylindrical double cut for air tools. Toughest I've found. I frequently weld up bucket pin bosses on heavy equipment and fill an ovaled hole with 7018 or 8018 and then hand grind them round. Tough on burrs. Last time I bought ten for 140 bucks, that's pretty good price I thought.

Check on the big distributors. I have a set from MAC truck. Use em a lot at work and they warranty them when we burn them up. don’t take long for it to be cheaper than buying cheap ones. Check but I think I gave $140 for a set of 4 burrs. Not sure if matco and snap-on have same warranty

Several 8-piece sets on Ebay- - - -1/4" shanks, priced from $20.00 to $30.00 a set. 1/8" shank Dremel style are a lot less expensive than that.

Thanks Fellers. I need the 1/4" shank. I'll take a look at the ones you've mentioned.

I have a bunch.....70/80 or more

Some came from Gesswein some from Congress tools but most from MSC

I remember an Aaron Burr.

PM sent

It'll take some looking to find a decent single fluted set for under a hundred bucks. Most of the sets in this price range are double cut. I can't find a McMaster-Carr set, only individual burrs. The rest are too expensive.

Snootie: Replied to PM.

Try MSC industrial suppliers! They used to sell a 6 piece set. Dont know where they were made, but nice carbide!

What shape and what are you cutting?
Length?

1/8" or 1/4" ?

1/4" shank. Single cut, cylindrical, cones, inverted cone, tree, oval, ball - pretty much what comes in a 6-8 piece set, but the cylindrical and tree shaped are probably the most important.

I use them for projects like porting cast iron headers, deburring, other automotive use and any projects that come up. Standard length. Thanks.

Cant help you with cheap 1/4"

I only use 1/8" and most days when free unclogged cutting is required I use an 1/8" two flute carbide ball end mill

Thanks.
