7000D Solid Carbide Burr (SD Series)

DRILLCO 7000D Solid Carbide Burr — Versatile Material Removal for Ferrous Metals and Complex Geometries

The DRILLCO 7000D Solid Carbide Burr is a premium-grade tungsten carbide rotary cutting tool engineered for deburring, weld removal, and aggressive material removal in tight spaces and on complex geometries. Manufactured from premium grade tungsten carbide, these burrs deliver consistent cutting performance across a wide range of ferrous metalworking applications. Available in standard lengths (single and double cut), 6" long series, and miniature sizes for use in pencil grinders, the 7000D series offers the configuration flexibility required by professional contractors and trades professionals. Operating the burr at the correct speed is essential to maximizing tool life and performance.

Technical Specifications

Unlike general-purpose rotary files, the DRILLCO 7000D is manufactured from premium tungsten carbide specifically suited for ferrous metal applications, providing superior hardness and wear resistance compared to high-speed steel alternatives. The availability of standard, 6" long series, and miniature configurations means a single product line can address everything from open-area weld removal to intricate work in confined spaces with a pencil grinder.

Key Features & Benefits

Premium Tungsten Carbide Construction

Manufactured from premium grade tungsten carbide with a cobalt binder, the 7000D delivers the hardness and wear resistance needed for demanding ferrous metalworking tasks. This material composition ensures the cutting edges maintain sharpness through extended use on tough materials.

Multiple Series Configurations

Available in standard lengths (single and double cut), 6" long series, and miniature sizes for pencil grinders, the 7000D line covers a broad range of access and reach requirements. Contractors can select the appropriate configuration for open weld removal, deep cavity work, or fine detail deburring without switching product lines.

Optimized for Ferrous Material Removal

Designed specifically for deburring ferrous materials and weld removal, the 7000D is the right tool for post-weld cleanup and edge preparation on steel and iron components. Its geometry supports efficient material removal on complex shapes and in tight spaces where other tools cannot reach.

Speed-Sensitive Performance

Running the burr at the correct RPM directly increases tool life and cutting performance. Matching the burr to the appropriate speed for its diameter ensures consistent metal removal rates and reduces premature wear.

Common Applications

Deburring of Ferrous Materials

The 7000D removes burrs and sharp edges from steel and iron workpieces after machining or cutting operations, producing clean, safe finished edges.

Weld Removal

Ideal for grinding down weld beads and spatter on ferrous metal assemblies, the carbide burr cuts aggressively through weld material to achieve a flush, smooth surface.

Material Removal in Tight Spaces

The availability of miniature sizes and 6" long series configurations allows the burr to reach into confined areas, ports, and cavities where standard tools cannot access.

Material Removal on Complex Geometries

The burr's design supports contouring and shaping on irregular or complex part profiles, making it suitable for finishing work on fabricated components with non-planar surfaces.

Safety Data Summary

Hazard Information

• NFPA Health Rating: 3; Flammability: 0; Reactivity: 0
• Cobalt is listed as IARC Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans)
• California Proposition 65 Warning: This product can expose you to chemicals including Cobalt, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
• Grinding cemented carbide produces dust that can be inhaled, swallowed, or contact skin or eyes
• Inhalation of dust may cause irritation of the nose and throat; potential for occupational asthma and interstitial fibrosis
• Skin contact may cause irritation or allergic skin rash due to cobalt sensitization
• Eye contact may cause irritation
• Persons with pre-existing respiratory disease may be at increased risk from exposure
• Incompatible with strong acids and strong oxidizers
• Dusts may present a fire or explosion hazard under rare conditions of particle size, dispersion, and strong ignition source

Personal Protective Equipment

• Wear safety glasses or goggles with side shields; do not wear contact lenses when handling
• Cloth or leather gloves recommended when contact with dust or mist is likely
• Use an appropriate NIOSH-approved respirator if airborne dust concentration exceeds the applicable PEL or TLV
• Hearing protection may be required
• Always use machine guards and wear protective clothing to prevent injury in the event of tool breakage
• Employer should provide an eye wash station within the immediate work area

Safe Handling

• Use only with local exhaust ventilation adequate to limit personal exposure to airborne dust below PEL or TLV levels
• Clean up using methods that avoid dust generation: vacuum with appropriate filters, wet dust mop, or wet clean up
• Do not shake clothing, rags, or other items to remove dust; remove dust by washing or vacuuming with appropriate filters
• Wash hands thoroughly after handling and before eating or smoking; wash exposed skin at end of work shift
• Store in a dry place; store in a manner that prevents accidental environmental contamination from traces of industrial lubricants or wetting oils
• Soiled clothing should be laundered separately
• For disposal, send to an appropriate reclamation facility if available; otherwise dispose in compliance with federal, state/provincial, and local environmental regulations
• Transport of solid tungsten carbide product is not regulated in Canada or the United States; no Hazard Class signage or special labelling required for transport
