The ball bur is one of the most essential standard tools in professional jewellery making and plays a critical role in nearly every step of the process. Whether for creating stone settings, shaping precise seats, or pre-drilling, the quality of the bur directly impacts precision, surface finish, and efficiency.
The NIQUA SUPER Q® Ball Bur “23” has been specifically engineered to meet these exacting demands, delivering maximum control when working with gold, silver, and non-ferrous metals.
Its precisely ground spherical head ensures a smooth, clean cutting action, enabling exceptional accuracy—especially in delicate stone setting applications. At the same time, the optimized geometry enhances chip removal and significantly reduces clogging, a key advantage when working with softer precious metals.
Manufactured from premium hardened tool steel, this ball bur offers outstanding durability and consistently high cutting performance in daily workshop use. It is the trusted choice for goldsmiths, stone setters, and jewellery manufacturers who rely on uncompromising tool quality.
With a 2.35 mm shank diameter, the bur is fully compatible with all standard micromotors, handpieces, and flex shaft systems, ensuring seamless integration into existing workflows.
