They will cut thru the screw extractor and or drill bit you have broken off in the busted exhaust manifold stud/bolt your trying to get out. I run it with a Cornwell die grinder. They run dry. READ the directions. First time I used one it saved me from from removing a cylinder head to get a broken exhaust manifold bolt out.

We viewers appreciate the thank you but you’re the one who deserves thanks. I recommend your videos to anyone who buys tools, not just because you deserve the subs, but also because I know that anyone who watches these videos will instantly become a far more informed consumer. The importance of having informed consumers can’t be overstated, especially in a country like ours that is built upon capitalism. If the consumer isn’t informed, companies have no monetary incentive to improve their products. The more informed the consumer is, the better products we will get. Better products means less time and money wasted in our jobs and hobbies, which I appreciate to no end. Before project farm, tools would break on me, or they wouldn’t perform well, even if I bought the most expensive one. Now that I’ve found this channel, everything I’ve bought from Todd’s testing has lasted, done the job effectively, and many times, those products aren’t the most expensive ones in the showdown. My tools last longer, work better, and are often cheaper, it’s not hard to imagine how much money that saves altogether. For myself and plenty of others working in the trades, your videos make our lives easier, and give us more money to take home to our families at the end of the day which is something that I can’t begin to thank you enough for.

Carbide burrs can rip through wood. But you're probably better off using a cheap rotary rasp. Although the rasp finish is rougher than the finish a burr leaves. The rotary rasp is like a rasp and the burr is like a file. You're probably going to have to finish with sandpaper anyways. A straight conical rotary rasp can be just the thing for weird wood shaping. I've never found a use for any of the other profiles.

No way, the way he's testing these tools is flawed, that's not real life testing. A real proper test, would be using a solid carbide Burr on a solid carbide Endmill. As a machinist I've seen demonstration where you use a solid carbide endmill to mill a slot length wise on an other carbide Endmill and the endmill that did the slot shows no damages on the flutes. The way he's doing his test is abusing these tools to get faulty results. That's why it's a faulty or bias methodology. If I were to do that same style of test, that Project Farm did, to find the best tooling for my job, I would be out of a job. Listen I've used cheap set of Burr's even in a high speed CNC Mill setting and the tool held fine on hard to machine Inconel.

@MedicSound 2 жыл бұрын

@@lepompier132 Man he tested the burrs in a way ideologically consistent with how regular people would use them in their own home-gamer shops. People aren't in their personal shops cutting carbide usually, nor are they cutting any formulation of Inconel, and they particularly don't normally have a $60k CNC machine to throw into the mix. Of course you would be fired if you did a tooling test like this, they pay you more than was spent on all the tools combined for this test.

@lepompier132 2 жыл бұрын

@@MedicSound Sorry I don't agree with you, the average person won't abuse de-Burring tool in that fashion. In order to get the same pressure on the tool for an average user in the garage, he would have to put his full weight on it, when in reality he doesn't have a steady hand to force the tools in the metal, let alone something that's hard like a grade A bolt. With common sens, someone in hos garage will use the 4 inch grinder first and once the grinder has done it's job they will use a die grinder with a Burr tool to clean and prep the zone and from experience I've seen the use of Burr tools after the 4 inch grinder to finish cleaning removing the rest of the weld. Or prep the zone to weld with bass. And like I said in my original comment, I've used Burr tools Carbide and High Speed Steel version and I don't destroy them, in fact I have a cheap set and that set gave me the best results. That's why I say his test is flawed because it doesn't reflect reality of use. And since in his video he used Carbide version. When you know how they make carbide tools, you tend to respect them and they have a longer life.

As a note, I was using these type burrs in the Dental Lab back in the 70s, and lots of them my Dad had (he owned the lab) were already pretty old. I still have a bunch of those. Super useful. Also I have a bunch of quite smaller ones designed to be used in small handpeices,like the Foredom motor setups I have

Thank You again for your testing. So many of the tools, oils and other items in my shed are there simply because I was able to see tests that proved their durability and usefulness. Carbide burrs certainly are useful in ones shop. I used to blend ports for performance engines and found my choices for superior burrs. While I no longer offer that service, I still use burrs to fit parts better and might do porting and polishing for my own engines. Simply put: Another excellent choice for a subject and excellent testing!

and w these metal cutting burrs, it seems that its almost more productive at removing material with LESS pressure applied from user.... like you cant just turn em on n set them on the metal to bore out, as it will get all choppy n bounce up n around. but juuust enough pressure to ensure the tool won't go bouncing outta ur hands is all that seems to be needed, i feel like too much pressure causes it to dig in too deep the be avle to carve and eject the metal shavings out fast enough to keep up w its rotation.. but lighter touch lets it just glide across the metal and itll sink into it before you realize its even happening!!!

I use these a lot to cut out steel, sometimes to make 16-50 mm holes in 1 1/2" steel, when you do that you cannot have 'a lighter touch' or you will be there all week. It sucks but jobs that call for the die grinder are not ideal, thats where your first options wouldn't fit.

@@oldbridgemaker2094 I agree totally. The cheap burrs could likely benefit from better heat treating but they just aren't made from as good a steel. That would be an interesting thing to test though.

So depending on what material you are working on you can get the rotozip bit that are normally for cutting thru drywall and other stuff and use them in the dremel and they work pretty well as long as its not metal. They also have some tile cutting bits and grout removing bits that are basically carbide burrs anyway and those work great for pretty much anything you need, Just have to make sure its the right size it get the dremek collet chuck attachment. but they work great and can sometimes be cheaper than the dremel bits or other alternatives

I have been using American-made Atrax 1/8" shank carbide bits, purchased over 35 years ago when I was a car stereo installer, in my Dremel tool. They're slightly chipped and beat up after years of use and abuse but they still work! The company was founded by ex Pratt and Whitney tool and die makers, and they still make their products in the USA today. My bits weren't cheap when I bought them, and they're quite expensive nowadays, but I have gotten more than my money's worth out of them. I would love to see Project Farm do a review of various 1/8" shank bits for Dremel tools and other similar miniature rotary die grinders.
