BURRS BURRS BURRS cabide?

hi guys.. i come here with a question ... maybe many of those beginners have as well..

is carbide burrs worth the price?
i work with silver so i was thinking in invest in those burrs.

or is a bad idea?

and if use properly how long a normal burr last and how long a carbide burr last..

use in 1mm - 2.30mm setting.

thank you all in advance.

Its not to do with cost or durability.
The blades of carbide burrs have a different configuration, and need more speed to cut effectively without chipping.
As a result, I dont think they are as suitable for delicate proceedures on metal. Dennis

so for setting dont worth the investment?

I use carbide ball burrs for most of my setting, preferably the Busch 1AU range. Running at 3-4k rpm.

Hat burr 70 degree
