Vendor: Foredom
SKU: FORE05
Product Description: The Typhoon Tungsten Carbide Taper Bur (A-KB14198) is a powerhouse carving tool designed for heavy-duty rotary handpieces with a 1/4" shank. This specific bur features a 5-degree taper and a substantial 1-1/4" cutting head, making it the ultimate "roughing out" tool for large-scale projects.
What makes Typhoon burs unique is their surface design: the tungsten carbide teeth are structurally aligned in perfect rows. This prevents the "clogging" or loading that ruins standard burs, especially when working with softer materials like acrylic, plaster, or wood. Because the points are so sharp and precisely placed, they slice through material aggressively while leaving a surprisingly smooth finish for such a coarse grit.
Built to last, these burs stay sharp far longer than steel tools and are incredibly easy to maintain—a quick pass with a brass brush is usually all it takes to keep them in peak condition.
