I often use a carbide burr in a die grinder (currently Bosch 27000RPM) to bevel cracks for welding (usually grey cast iron), remove (steel) rivet heads, etc. Never happy with short burr life A 1/4" diam cutter @ 27000RPM is cuttng at approx 1600SFM, so maybe that is not surprising. Cutoff wheels work well, but are unhandy in a lot of tight places and mounted points always seem to glaze or cut slowly.
What am I doing wrong? Does anyone make burrs that last more than a few minutes in this kind of service?
