What are sintered diamond burrs used for in jewelry making?

Sintered burrs are used for grinding, shaping, carving, and engraving in precious metals (gold, silver), gemstones, and hard materials during jewelry fabrication and stone setting.

Which burr shape is best for stone setting?

Ball burrs are ideal for prong and bezel seat preparation; cone burrs work best for V-groove cutting and angled seat alignment.

Are sintered burrs more durable than electroplated burrs?

Yes, sintered diamond burrs embed diamonds throughout the entire metal bond matrix, delivering vastly longer lifespan and uniform cutting action.

Do you offer multi-shape burr sets for jewelry?

Yes, sintered burr sets include ball, flame, cone, cylinder, and taper profiles for comprehensive jewelry workshop tasks.

Can these burrs be used with a flex shaft or rotary tool?

Yes, they feature standard shanks compatible with flex shafts, micromotors, and rotary tools with 2.35mm or 3mm collets.
