How to use Woodcarving Burrs

[@lechatbotte.]

I just love watching you carve. I like that you can soften the features even after you carved away material

[@MattCarves]

Thanks Linda. Have a great day.

[@saafewolf69]

You showing the bits/burrs that you use and what for was very helpful and informative.

[@MattCarves]

Cheers Kent 👍

[@clairetolmie5640]

I always appreciate seeing which burrs to use for what purpose! I'm still adding to that list! 😊

[@MattCarves]

Awesome Claire, yeah I got one of those wish lists too. 😀

[@jayc3110]

[@jerrybliss791]

Thanks Matt for all your help. Quick question, how do I find other power carvers in Kentucky or close to me?

[@MattCarves]

Hey Jerry, thanks for watching. I'm not sure how you'd find local power carvers. Maybe Facebook or CarvingFusion has a strong Facebook group where you could ask that question. 👍

[@timlist4173]

Thank you for the explaination and demostration. Very well stated. By the way, I like the burr/bit caddy. Hand made?

[@MattCarves]

Yeah, that is hand made. Cheers for watching 👍

[@brokenmarbles70]

ty for the tutorials amazing work, may I ask what rpm do you run your dremel at for carving, cheers.

[@MattCarves]

I tend to run just below full speed. I think I will do a video on this topic cheers 🍻

[@Mike-ou5ps]

GREAT Video Sir. I seem to have a hard time finding those inverted cone shaped burrs. I don't even know what they are called. To describe...I can find the ones shaped like triangle, they're everywhere. But the ones which are opposite of that I dunno if I'm just a search engine dummy or what, bit I can't find them. Also, those flat disk diamond burrs you use. Can't find those either. Also also, I can't seem to find those burrs that are used for shaping/burning eyeball pupils...the ones that are hollowed out...what are those called? LOVE the video Sir. Thanks for taking the time for demonstrations.

[@MattCarves]

Hi Mike, I do have an amazon link for those flat disk burrs in the description of that video, as for the inverted ones not sure about thosethe only one I have is from mastercarver.com. I dont tend to use those eyeball burrs I did see that sabertooth might have some I think they are called crosscutter burrs.

[@Mike-ou5ps]

@@MattCarves thanks.

[@cosmicfxx]

Great video, love the carving. Do you wear a mask while carving these? Not sure if I should worry about mask or not when carving small.

[@MattCarves]

Cheers for watching Rob. I wear a 3m half respirator for all the carvings I do. It's amazing how much dust there is, and the super fine dust below 10microns is the really bad stuff. 🙂👍

[@cosmicfxx]

@@MattCarves Good to know and thanks for sharing :)

[@stevew585]

Hi Matt, is that a suction table you are using ? I haven't got one as they're very expensive, I find the dust a major problem, my little shed/ workshop gets completely smothered in sawdust so I have to carve in the garden and it rains a lot in England...lol...bummer.

[@MattCarves]

Hi Steve, sawdust is always a problem even with a suction table. I did a video on how I made that table kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJm0n4qvm8hmpJo

@@MattCarves Awesome, Thanks Matt. Your channel keeps getting better and better!

[@josemilian4167]

beginner value set of bits i bought suck, even to start. are the gold bits best for wood carving? the ones i have sort of float on wood and don't do much.diamond coated are ok but take ages to remove material. how do you know when they are worn out and need to be tossed out?

[@MattCarves]

the best burr for removing wood is the kutzall very course flame burr, your gold burrs are good for fine details and the daimond burrs are great for some removal but also a fine finish. Kutzall burr last about a year for me

[@josemilian4167]

@@MattCarves oh ok thank you i thought mine might have immediately worn out since they were so cheap. I will invest in some kutzalls thanks!!!
