How Double Cut Flutes Enhance Your Finishing Work
The double cut design combines both right and left hand spirals to slice through metal smoothly, much like how double blades on a razor give an extra clean shave. This makes the burr less likely to chatter or snag, giving you better control and a cleaner finish on your workpiece. If you’ve ever struggled to get a smooth edge with a regular burr, double cut helps keep everything steady and precise.
