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.

Assorted $89.00  

 


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
