Frequently Asked Questions
Which Roland machines are these burs compatible with?
They are compatible with Roland DWX dry mills: the DWX-30, DWX-50, DWX-51D, DWX-52D, DWX-52DC and DWX-52DCi.
Are these original Roland burs?
No. These are Eagle burs compatible with Roland DWX mills, not original Roland tools. The machine names show which mills they fit.
Which materials can I mill with them?
PMMA, wax and PEEK. For zirconia, use coated zirconia burs; glass ceramics are ground wet with diamond burs.
Are they for wet or dry milling?
Dry. They are made for Roland DWX dry milling machines.
Why use uncoated burs for PMMA and wax?
Soft materials do not wear the edge the way zirconia does. An uncoated edge stays sharper, which helps prevent melting and smearing and leaves a cleaner surface.
Which bur size do I need for my DWX-52D?
Your CAM strategy decides. Most PMMA and wax strategies use 2.0 mm for roughing, 1.0 mm for finishing and 0.6 mm for fine detail, with 0.8 mm in some strategies. Check the tool list in your software.
What do the sizes 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 and 2.0 mean?
They are the cutting diameters in millimeters. Each diameter belongs to a numbered stocker position that your milling strategy expects.
How often should I replace Roland milling burs?
Replace them when the bur management software reaches the replacement time you set, or earlier if you see melting, fuzzy wax edges, chips sticking to the bur, longer milling times or a damaged tip.
Why is my PMMA melting on my DWX mill?
A common bur-related cause is a dull bur that generates heat instead of cutting. Replace the worn bur and check that the dust collector is running and the PMMA strategy is selected.
Do you ship worldwide?
Yes. We ship to most countries by express courier, and you get a tracking number as soon as your order ships.
