Bur
A bur (also spelled burr) is a seed or dry fruit or infructescence that has hooks or teeth.
Burr (edge)
A burr is a raised edge or small piece of material that remains attached to a workpiece after a modification process.
See Burr (cutter) and Burr (edge)
Dental drill
A dental drill or dental handpiece is a hand-held, mechanical instrument used to perform a variety of common dental procedures, including removing decay, polishing fillings, performing cosmetic dentistry, and altering prostheses.
See Burr (cutter) and Dental drill
Dentistry
Dentistry, also known as dental medicine and oral medicine, is the branch of medicine focused on the teeth, gums, and mouth.
See Burr (cutter) and Dentistry
End mill
An end mill is a type of milling cutter, a cutting tool used in industrial milling applications. Burr (cutter) and end mill are Metalworking cutting tools.
See Burr (cutter) and End mill
A file is a tool used to remove fine amounts of material from a workpiece.
See Burr (cutter) and File (tool)
High-speed steel
High-speed steel (HSS or HS) is a subset of tool steels, commonly used as cutting tool material. Burr (cutter) and High-speed steel are Metalworking cutting tools.
See Burr (cutter) and High-speed steel
A machine tool is a machine for handling or machining metal or other rigid materials, usually by cutting, boring, grinding, shearing, or other forms of deformations.
See Burr (cutter) and Machine tool
Milling (machining)
Milling is the process of machining using rotary cutters to remove material by advancing a cutter into a workpiece.
See Burr (cutter) and Milling (machining)
Numerical control
In machining, numerical control, also called computer numerical control (CNC), is the automated control of tools by means of a computer.
See Burr (cutter) and Numerical control
Revolutions per minute
Revolutions per minute (abbreviated rpm, RPM, rev/min, r/min, or r⋅min−1) is a unit of rotational speed (or rotational frequency) for rotating machines.
See Burr (cutter) and Revolutions per minute
A die grinder or rotary tool is a handheld power tool and multitool used for grinding, sanding, honing, polishing, or machining material (typically metal, but also plastic or wood).
See Burr (cutter) and Rotary tool
Rotation
Rotation or rotational motion is the circular movement of an object around a central line, known as axis of rotation.
See Burr (cutter) and Rotation
Router (woodworking)
The router is a power tool with a flat base and a rotating blade extending past the base.
