The Busch® Pointed Burs FIG 5, 1.80mm (ISO #018) are premium-quality rotary tools engineered for precision jewelry work and fine metal detailing. Crafted in Germany from tungsten vanadium steel, these burs deliver exceptional strength, wear resistance, and longevity, even under intensive professional use.
With a 1.80mm diameter and sharply pointed FIG 5 profile, these burs are ideal for fine carving, engraving, texturing, and shaping tasks. Whether you're working with gold, silver, platinum, or other jewelry-grade metals, these tools ensure detailed, accurate results every time.
Each bur is precision-machined with evenly spaced, sharp cutting flutes that promote smooth, clean cutting performance. The ISO #018 classification guarantees international consistency in dimensions and manufacturing quality, making these burs a trusted choice for professional jewelers, stone setters, engravers, and metalsmiths worldwide.
The burs are approximately 1-3/4" long and feature a 3/32" (2.35mm) shank, compatible with most standard rotary tools, including Dremel® and flex shafts. A 42.0° cutting angle enhances control and precision, especially during detailed shaping and engraving work.
To maximize tool life and achieve optimal performance, the use of a bur lubricant (such as Busch Lube-Stik) is strongly recommended. Refer to packaging for maximum safe operating speed for each size.

How to Use:
-
Mount the bur securely into a compatible rotary handpiece, micromotor, or flex shaft tool with a 3/32" collet.
-
Operate at the manufacturer-recommended speed for the bur size.
-
Apply light, controlled pressure—do not force the tool.
-
Use a bur lubricant during operation to reduce friction and extend tool life.
-
After use, clean the bur using a soft brush or cloth and mild soap to remove debris or residue.
Safety Information:
-
Always wear protective eyewear and a dust mask when operating rotary tools.
-
Ensure proper ventilation during use, especially when working with materials that may produce fine dust or particulates.
-
Store burs in a dry, organized container to prevent dulling or corrosion.
-
Do not exceed recommended speeds—refer to the packaging or the manufacturer’s technical chart for specific RPM limits.
