garyson rotary carbide burrs cone shaped . it will do everything u want and last years

depends on what you want to do to the steel

I bought it for a silhouette gate I'm making going to cut it out with plasma and use die grinder to deburr edges an get into the tight spots. But I'd also like to invest in cutting blades, polisher, wire brushes an such as I can see this being used a lot. It takes a 6mm bit

I have 2 electric die grinders, but never use them as air one is so much more controllable, and much smaller and more compact.

I would use my finger sander first, sometimes with plasma cut eges you get bits of oxide that seem very hard and can chip the teeth on the burr.

We bought a Makita die grinder and following advice on here bought a Garyson carbide burr. It is a very useful tool but a bit ferocious and must admit that the B and D power file gets more use.

What brand of finger sander. ...everyone I have used have been next to useless?

I bought the Makita one, great piece of kit but pricey. I had two B+D ones the ancient one was ok but died, the later one was a piece of junk.
Im not sure if it is bits of oxide or there was some talk on here of the edges of the plasma cut metal being nitrided and hardened. I remember it starting some debate. But I have knackered a couple of my burrs on plasma cut material.

I have been advised by my supplier not to run the burrs at a slow speed as it dulls them.
They are extremely useful tools.

I have the same one. the shape is brilliant u can get in all corners and work your way up the shank for enlarging holes and fast cutting ive used mine on a lot of stainless and had it years

i have a set of those was using the cylinder one for a good 30 mins today great tools

I've gopt some of those, much better than no named versions. I'm sure they come cheaper though.
There was somebody on the forum selling some decent burrs at a good price a while back.

It was forum member Appyasme I dont know if he has any more. Good quality and a nice price.
