clemmy Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I was wondering if anyone has some tips on cleaning the sawdust out of some of my diamond burrs? I know if they were carbide, I could just burn it out, but unsure given whatever adhesive holds the diamond chips in if can do that, or solvent, or...? Thanks!

millwood Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 They make a diamond bur cleaning stone. Might want to check one out. Just do a google search. They will clean out the burs without prematurely dulling them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincoya Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I just put my burrs in my Dremel and crank the RPMs all the way up. I then put the burr to a piece of hardwood like maple and hold it there until it smokes (literally). Turn it off and let it cool down for a couple of seconds. Brush it with a stiff toothbrush and you're ready to go again. Gene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
