Jigging Burr Source?

bobbywett · May 6, 2020

Hello Folks,

I’m interested in finding a good source for handle jigging burrs. I’ve been making a few folders and wanted to jigg a few of the scales.

Where do you guys usually purchase your burrs? What size burrs do you guys recommend?

Thanks for any help,

Bobby

I just ordered 2 of them. Thank you very much for the source.

Is there any other source? msc is a horrible site for those outside the US. I'd been looking for these myself but gave up. It looks like it would be a common burr shape, but no!

Do you know if diamond burrs are suitable?

Of course if you are in Canada these guys https://onlinesupply.ca/Drilling-Cutting/carbide-burrs-597-series have some burs and lots of other knife making gear. Their service with Bandsaw blades is amazing. I order blades and sometimes get a message that they are out of a certain blade and will have to make it. They still arrive 2 days later at my house.

Diamond burrs will work, but they don't cut cleanly. The diamonds leave lines in the cuts, and diamond burrs will load up easily.
