The following cut recommendations are a general guide for routine usage of carbide burs. These cuts can be
used for general metal removal. When finish is important, we suggest that the overcut (Supercut,
Chipbreaker, etc.) be eliminated. If exceptional finish of the area is required, consider a Fine Cut as shown
in our catalog.
