The High Speed Steel Ball Burs Size 18 (4.5mm) Round is a high-performance cutting tool engineered for professional jewelers who require exceptional precision, power, and durability for large-scale shaping tasks. Manufactured from premium high-speed steel (HSS), this bur delivers superior hardness and long-lasting sharpness, ensuring clean, controlled cutting across a broad range of jewelry metals.
With a 4.5mm round head, this bur is ideal for deeper cavity cutting, larger stone-seat preparation, bulk material removal, and advanced metal shaping. Its larger diameter allows for smooth, rounded carving while maintaining absolute stability during high-speed rotation. This makes it essential for tasks such as creating wide recesses, refining bezel interiors, smoothing curved surfaces, and performing heavy-duty shaping work in fine jewelry production.
Equipped with spiral-cut, precision-engineered flutes, this HSS bur ensures efficient chip clearance, reduced heat buildup, and smoother cutting action—critical for maintaining metal integrity and preventing tool overheating. The standard 3/32" (2.35mm) shank guarantees compatibility with professional flex shafts, micromotors, and rotary handpieces used in jewelry workshops.
Designed to work effectively on gold, silver, platinum, brass, and other jewelry alloys, it maintains consistent performance even during extended use. Its strong cutting ability reduces tool changeovers, enhances workflow efficiency, and supports high-level craftsmanship.
The High Speed Steel Ball Burs Size 18 (4.5mm) Round provides exceptional control, long tool life, and precise cutting capability—making it an indispensable tool for jewelers needing powerful yet accurate rotary burs for advanced metalwork.
