Flexovit® VA18O5 SA-3 Cylinder Carbide Bur – Aluminum Cut
Engineered for Fast, Clean Cutting on Aluminum and Non-Ferrous Metals
The VA18O5 Flexovit® 3/8" x 3/4" x 1/4" Shank SA-3 Cylinder Carbide Bur Aluminum Cut is purpose-built for high-efficiency machining of softer metals. Manufactured from premium tungsten carbide, this professional-grade bur delivers excellent durability, rapid stock removal, and superior surface finishes across aluminum, brass, copper, magnesium, zinc, and a wide range of non-ferrous alloys.
Optimized Aluminum Cut Geometry
Unlike traditional double cut burs, the VA18O5 features a specialized aluminum cut design with wide, single-flute cutting edges. This geometry significantly reduces loading and clogging—common issues when machining soft metals. The result is cooler cutting action, faster material removal, and cleaner, more consistent finishes. This makes the bur ideal for deburring, porting, contour shaping, surface leveling, weld spatter removal, and precision finishing on non-ferrous components.
SA-3 Cylinder Shape for Control and Accuracy
The SA-3 cylindrical profile allows operators to work efficiently on flat surfaces, right-angle corners, and larger contact areas. With a 3/8" diameter and 3/4" flute length on a robust 1/4" shank, the VA18O5 provides stability, precision, and compatibility with most die grinders and rotary tools used in industrial shops, fabrication facilities, and field service environments.
Trusted Across Non-Ferrous Applications
This bur is widely used in automotive repair, aerospace, marine, mold and die making, metal fabrication, and MRO environments. Its ability to maintain cutting speed and prevent chip packing makes it essential for technicians who need reliable performance with aluminum and similar materials.
Made In The USA and Built for Productivity and Long-Term Value
As part of the Flexovit® carbide bur family, the VA18O5 reflects Flexovit’s dedication to high-performance tooling solutions that boost efficiency, reduce downtime, and deliver consistent, professional-grade results.
