How the Flame Shape Design Enhances Your Work
The flame shape head of the SH-5 burr works like the tip of a fine paintbrush—but for your rotary tool. It lets you nibble away at tight corners, contours, and oddly shaped areas that flat or ball-shaped burrs just can’t reach. Imagine trying to trim the corners of a small picture frame—this shape lets you get right in there without sanding down the surrounding edges. This means smoother, more precise results with less effort and fewer passes.
