Diamond burrs with metallic are a type of diamond cutting tool that is used for various applications in the jewelry making and gemstone carving industry. They are constructed of a stainless steel body with diamond particles bonded to them and are available in several grit sizes that determine the types of procedures they can be used for. They are used for a variety of tasks including grinding, shaping and pre-forming hard and soft materials such as glass, stone, ceramics and bone. These diamond burrs are also utilized to place the final shape and details on dental restorations.
The diamonds in these tools are fused to the metal binder with a process known as “sintering.” This creates an extremely strong bond that ensures the diamond doesn’t wear away easily during use. In addition to this, the diamonds are embedded in a matrix material that’s even stronger than the diamond itself. The most commonly used binder is boron nitride. This is an extremely tough material that can withstand high temperatures and heavy usage without losing its effectiveness.
This makes them suitable for use in a wide variety of applications and allows the user to cut through difficult materials with ease. It is important to remember when using these tools that they should always be lubricated to help avoid overheating, which could damage the material being cut or wear down the diamonds.
They are available in both single-use and multi-use forms, allowing the user to sterilize them between uses and have a fresh and sharp tool for every new patient. This increases the accuracy of the tool and can lead to fewer complications for patients as well as shorter healing times.
Unlike traditional diamond burs, these tools feature a lens which allows the surgeon to see exactly where they’re cutting, ensuring that they’re not going too deep or shallow. This can result in a more precise cut that leads to a faster recovery for the patient as well as fewer problems for the dentist in the long run.
Another benefit of these diamond burs is their longevity, meaning that the user can go through a procedure with fewer burs than they would with regular diamond burs. This can save time in the lab and in surgery as well as money for the practice, since less burs need to be replaced.
These diamond burrs have a 3/32 inch shank which makes them compatible with all Foredom, Dremel and other flex shaft hand pieces that accept this size. The diamond burs can be carved in a range of shapes and sizes, from flat bottom to tapered rounded cylinder. They can be used for carving, grinding and pre-forming hard and soft materials such and glass, stone, ceramics, bone and metals.
This set of five assorted diamond burs is ideal for a variety of applications, such as metalworking, jewelry making, stone engraving and ceramic art. They can be used with a variety of rotary tools and come in different shapes and grits. The cylinder shape burs work best for creating intricate details in a hard and soft material such as glass. This is a great choice for engravers and jewelers who want to take their precision work to the next level.
