I have used them for this with good results. I also use the .023 tapered bit to clean the fret slots of glue on bound and unbound fret boards. Boss taught me that one. Nice inlay. |

Gesswein has a nice assortment of 1/16" shank burs at reasonable prices. Nice work, Chris! |

Nice work there. I did the inlay in my Avatar with dental burrs. Very inexpensive and effective. I bought a few from my dentist. They came in cards of ten. I bought a few cards and didn't pay much. |

Nice work, Chris. I'm new to inlay, but started with dental burrs from the get-go. I can't compare them to regular bits for this sort of work, because I haven't tried regular bits. I feel no need to. I do encourage others to give dental burrs a try. |

I've used dental burs in a high speed Presto pneumatic handpiece for a long time. I buy them from Lasco Diamond, and they're quite reasonably priced--far cheaper than carbide end mills. As others have said, they work very well. They can tend to burn ebony if I run the Presto at full speed (400K or so), but they don't have any tendency to follow grain lines the way that endmills in a slower speed router can. Dave |
