Good quality Carbide Burrs are machine ground from a specially chosen grade of carbide. Due to the extreme hardness of the Tungsten Carbide they can be used on much more demanding jobs than HSS (High-Speed Steel).
Carbide Burrs also perform better at higher temperatures than HSS so you can run them hotter, for longer.
HSS burrs will start to soften at higher temperatures so carbide is always a better choice for long-term performance.
