Fish Carving Detail Burrs
Return to Carving Burrs

14 Piece Fish Carving Detail Burr Set
Genuine diamond, ruby and sapphire carving points for ultra fine
detailing, excellent control & smooth finish. Unlike the
imported imposters that have flooded the market in the last few years
these burrs are the real deal. Burrs B-J are all made in
Switzerland and machined from one piece surgical stainless steel free of
welds and feature 5 layers of abrasive coatings. Ensuring these
burrs cut like new for years. Speed ratings are the highest in the
industry for 3/32nd burrs. Speed rating for each listed below.
These are the only burrs I trust at high speed in my Micro Carver.
Using the low quality burrs over 20,000 rpms risk personal injury and
damage to your Micro Carver handpiece bearings. When it
comes to detail burrs quality does matter. Don't be fooled by the cheap
knock off sets. Buy a quality set for high speed detail carving
and a junk set for those times when you need to carve over fillers or
other questionable surfaces with your flex shaft machine. Never
run import knockoff burrs in a micro carver. Burrs A, L, M, N, and
O are all American Made and also rated for Micro Carver use. These are
all the burr shapes I use to carve final detail in fish and habitat
carvings.

20 Piece Import 1/8" Shaft Diamond Detail Set - $9.00
This is one of those knock off sets I mentioned above.
The quality doesn't even come close to the burrs above. I keep a set on
the bench for those times when I need to texture over a wood filler
material like Bondo or Magic Sculpt and I don't want to contaminate one
of my quality burrs shown above. I will slip one of these into a Detail
Pro handpiece on my flex shaft machine and carve away. If I ruin the
burr I am out 50 cents instead of 10 dollars or more. You never want to
use one of these burrs in a high speed micro carver. The high rpms
could fold over the soft metal shafts or the vibration could damage the
handpiece bearings. Save them as sacrificial burrs for your flex shaft
machine and use them sparingly. 1/8" Shaft 20,000 Max RPM Rating
