Die grinder bits

Where in the UK can I buy carbide cutting burrs specifically for use with aluminium? My steel ones clog up really fast and I'm getting blank looks from tool stockists, googling has got me nowhere so far...

the cronos ones seem like the best bet (read cheapest) if not try j&l industrial supply they have some specificaly for aluminium but they arnt cheap.

Hmm, they all look similar to what I have, you need something really course for ally, thanks anyway, might have to go direct to the states...

Could be, I assume they are for a 6mm chuck? Have to measure mine and see if they would fit.

Newport, 6mm dia bits will fit my chuck, shapes A and C are what I'd be after, let me know what you can do....

Hi

Got the prices - and they are pretty steep!- dearer than I though , probably as the are British made ,
anyway.
They offer em coated or uncoated - not too sure what the coating is but they probably last longer. They also offer 6 10 or 12mm head size.
As an example
Cylinder Head
6mm uncoated - £18.60
6mm Coated - £22.30
10mm uncaoted - £27.84
10mm coated - £33.39
12mm uncoated - £40.79
12mm coated - £48.93

Ball Cylinder are similar prices.

I get 45% off the above and del is 4/5 working days.

Leme know if this helps at all or if you need more info

Mark
