How To

Choose the Right Bur-Life

Often copied but never equaled in either performance or benefits, Bur-Life® is the best available lubricant for jewelry applications. Like a coating of microscopic ball bearings, Bur-Life provides a smoother cut with far less friction and more control.
Other lubricants are repelled by heat and draw away from the cutting edge. Bur-Life is attracted by heat, so the friction and resulting heat produced by saw blades, burs, files and other cutting tools actually draws Bur-Life to the point of contact, resulting in a better finish.
With Bur-Life, your tools work faster, stay sharper and last longer.
Choose from three formulas:
• Original: Stick or bench-mount cartridges
• Paste: Specially formulated for tasks where surfaces require a complete coating
• Liquid: Penetrates to lubricate; for complex or porous surfaces that may be hard to coat.

• For burs: Increases precision in drilling and grinding and reduces chatter
Best formula: stick

• For files: Keeps files cutting clean and increases their cutting life by reducing wear on file surfaces.
Best formula: stick

• For gravers: Wipe your gravers with Bur-Life every few cuts.
Best formula: liquid

• For drawing wire: Apply to both wire and drawplate to make drawing wire nearly effortless.
Best formula: liquid

• For saw blades: Reduces drag and binding during cutting. Blades cut smoother, resist breaking and last up to twice as long.
Best formula: stick

• For wheel dressing: This ideal wheel dressing provides superior lubrication even under tremendous friction. Abrasive wheels cut smoother and faster.
Best formula: stick

• For stamping and tap & die operations: Coats surfaces completely for efficient stamping
Best formula: any

• For grinding wheels and abrasive belts: Keeps wheels running cool
Best formula: stick

• For diamond drills: An excellent cooling bath! Dip diamond burs periodically to keep them cool while you work.
