Why Double Cut Makes a Difference for Smooth Finishing
The Double Cut option on the SE-5 burr pairs right and left hand flutes, which basically means the tool bites into the material from two angles at once. Think of it like cutting cookies with two knives working at the same time instead of one—it slices cleaner and leaves a much smoother edge.
This slight left hand cutting action also gives you amazing control over the burr and grinder—kind of like steering a car with power steering instead of without. If you're aiming for polished perfection or need a delicate touch, the Double Cut helps you get there without fuss or extra passes.
