Yes, carbide burrs can be used on aluminum. They are commonly used for grinding, deburring, shaping, and drilling aluminum and other non-ferrous materials such as brass and copper.

The special “aluminum cut” carbide burrs are designed with a different cutting geometry to prevent clogging and maintain good stock removal performance when working on aluminum and other soft metals. It is important to use the appropriate type of carbide burr for the specific material to achieve the desired results and prolong the tool’s lifespan.
