How the Double Cut Design Improves Your Finish
The double cut on this burr combines right and left hand flutes to create a super smooth cutting surface. Think of it like sanding wood with a finer grit sandpaper after a coarse grind – it refines the surface while controlling the tool’s movements. This makes it easier to hold steady and get consistent results, especially on delicate or intricate metal parts.
