MY burs on plates/pads => 14 photos

In this essay, you will view all of my 'replaceable' burs. 

This photo displays my collection of '12 twist drills'.

 On this tray of assorted "156C" (Carbide) burs are named 'under-cutting' burs. These burs are also known as 'bearing cutters.' Regardless of the name you use, they are a remarkable tool.

 In this one tray are my 77 B' cup burs. They are needed to round off every claw setting. The downside is they seem to have a very short life span, as the inside teeth seem to wear down quite fast.

 These are our round burs; they do so much that the list is almost endless. The 'downside' is that they cannot be repaired if they get badly worn.

 On another pad is a collection of very small, round burs. These can be used as I previously mentioned, and can be used extensively. When they are badly worn, just do one thing, and that is to discard them.

 Here are two bur packs that are fresh and never touched. Each of these has a tincture of oil that will prevent our enemy, named rust, from destroying them.

 The numbers on the far left are the generic names, and those numbers on the right corner are those bur sizes.

 Some of these "77B" burs, otherwise named as 'cup burs', can be seen in various degrees of wear. Don't get attached to them if they seem to be failing in doing their job. Their job is to 'round off the tips of the claws'.

  After examining these burs up close, they need to be discarded 'post haste'. Or as 'fast as possible'.

 Here is a collection of round burs in no random order.

 In this packet of '156C' burs, they will not be touched only when their uses are required. They will be kept separate from the other pads of burs and covered with a plastic lid.

 This assortment of burs is used extensively, and you can see the many signs of wear.

 REMEMBER, if you see that the bur teeth are showing signs of wear...throw them out.

 Many of these burs shown here are nearly useless, as these teeth are now nearly non-existent.

  You can, as well, buy a 'packet of a dozen round burs' from the smallest to the largest size. Every tool supplier sells these packets for your own consumption.
