Details + dimensions

Round edges + carve flowing hollows

The Kutzall 1/4″ Shaft Ball Nose Burr combines straight sides with a rounded end, giving you two useful ways to approach power carving. Use the sides to level surfaces and round over edges, then work with the rounded end to hollow concave forms or carve grooves with a curved bottom. It is a versatile profile for woodcarving projects that move between flat areas and inward curves.

The 1/4″ shaft fits a matching collet or compatible adjustable chuck on a die grinder or flex-shaft handpiece. Match the head size to the space you want to carve, and check your power tool’s mounting and speed limits before use.

Mounting Guide

Kutzall burr shafts seated in rotary-tool collets
Match the shaft to your tool’s collet or chuck.
  1. Match your shaft size

    Use a 1/4″ collet or compatible adjustable chuck on a suitable rotary tool, die grinder or flex-shaft handpiece. Hand drills and drill presses are not recommended.

  2. Seat the shaft securely

    Insert at least half of the shaft into the collet or chuck. Secure it according to your power tool’s instructions.

  3. Use the recommended speed

    Recommended operating range: 15,000–30,000 RPM. Both material-removal rate and control improve as speed increases toward the burr’s recommended operating range. Never exceed the lowest maximum speed rating in your setup. Use light pressure and let the tool do the work.

  4. Let it stop completely

    Let your power tool stop completely before setting it down.

Caring for your Kutzall

Cleaning a Kutzall hand rasp with a wire brush
Brush away buildup

A few passes with a soft wire brush help clear material from between the teeth.

Using a torch to clear buildup from a Kutzall shaping wheel
Clear stubborn residue

A torch can remove stubborn buildup from the metal working surface. The tungsten-carbide teeth tolerate the heat.

Protect the teeth

Kutzall’s tungsten-carbide teeth are securely brazed to the steel tool with a nickel alloy. Protect the teeth from impact against hard surfaces, especially while spinning. Let your power tool stop completely before setting it down.

Not for use on metals, ceramics or hard stone.

More on tool care

Let the tool cool before handling. Keep heat away from handles and other non-metal components.
