cabide bur

Getting the m18 die grinder would like some input on carbide burs ,brand,shape any other advice

I know nothing about "M18". All my die grinders are air-powered except for an ancient Dremel.

Burr? I prefer "rotary file".

What you need depends on what you're trying to accomplish. It's like saying "I want to buy some wrenches...what sizes do I need"?

Iron/steel uses different tooth profile than aluminum.

Round, tree, flame, oval shapes are common. Sizes vary from "Dremel" to about 1/2".

Was trying to v out a crack in a log jammer arm to weld it but steel hydraulic line made grinding difficult. Thought this tool would work well.

I would look into an 8PC set that includes the most common varieties. The Astro Pneumatic set is highly regarded and very affordable. You really don't want to cheap out on burrs, invest in a quality set and they will last you. If you don't have much experience with them read up or maybe watch some videos, they can be destroyed pretty quickly if you aren't using them properly.

If you know you're going to mostly be doing steel, get a double cut set. If you know you're doing aluminum or non ferrous buy a single cut set. Whichever you use less commonly you can get one or two of in a general shape(flame or cylinder) opposed to a whole set.

Carbide burrs and an electric die grinder is one nice but expensive combo. I have burrs that retail for upwards of $50 each. I would start out buying a few single burrs and get some practice in. It takes some time to finesse a die grinder and not keep destroying burrs.
For V-ing out cracks I would use a pine cone style double cut burr.

I had a burr set from so ? Bought long ago and it lasted till it "walked away". After that I just bought individual ones. And yes, burrs are one tool you do not want to cheap out on.

I bought a couple of burrs for aluminum in addition to the Astro 2181 set.
