Oh by the way, make sure you use some cutting lubricant when using aggressive burrs on Aluminum or it will clog the flutes and make them worthless in no time. |
That brings back memories, I used to have a job deburring SS, Monel and Inconel industrial valves for a while. It sucked. I was constantly pulling metal slivers out of my arm and hands.
I also have some carbide burrs but they load up (as you described) with soft material. I guess that's my real question. I see they are available for ferrous and non ferrous materials but can't find the difference.
