Double Cut Burs: Busch Crosscut Carbide Cutter Collection

Double Cut Burs: Busch Crosscut Carbide Cutters – Precision German tungsten carbide burs with a cross-hatched (double cut) tooth pattern for smooth, controlled material removal on non-precious metal frameworks, acrylics, and prosthetic components.

Double cut (crosscut) burs have two intersecting sets of flutes cut at opposing angles. Compared to a single-cut bur, this geometry breaks up the chip into smaller fragments, runs cooler, and resists grabbing or chattering — making it the standard choice for lab and prosthetic finishing work across cobalt-chrome, stainless steel, and acrylic.

Key Features

• Cross-hatched double cut geometry for smooth, non-grabbing material removal
• Available across round, cylinder, taper (cone), pear, bud, flame, and football (egg) head shapes
• Fine, medium, coarse, and super coarse grit options across the standard, Shorties, Midis, and Left-Handed Lab lines
• Specialty variants for titanium (XTI-cut) and ceramic-adjacent work (K-suffix) engineered with reinforced tooth geometry
• Manufactured by Busch & Co. in Engelskirchen, Germany since 1905

Note: Some very coarse variants use an XA-cut or XTI-cut tooth pattern — a reinforced, modified crosscut geometry distinct from the standard double cut — and are included here as part of the broader crosscut family; see each product page for its exact cut classification.

FAQ

How do I choose the right item from this collection? Every product page details the exact specification, reference number, and application; for cross-brand references and terminology, see our Bur Comparison Chart, Speed Chart, and Bur Glossary — and our experts are a call away at (917) 480-2682.

What's the difference between double cut and single cut? Double cut (crosscut) burs have two intersecting flute patterns for a coarser, faster-cutting action with smaller chip formation; single cut burs have one continuous spiral flute for a finer, slower finish. Double cut is the standard choice for bulk material removal on metal and acrylic.
