About finishing carbides
Finishing carbide burs are carbide burs for finishing, which a glossary defines as putting a final coat or surface on: refining form before polishing. Finishing carbides carry many fine blades, and published work reports no difference in the surface left by burs of 6, 12 and 30 blades. ISO 3823-2 sets dimensional requirements for the seventeen most commonly used shapes of steel and carbide finishing burs.
Many fine blades for refining form, rather than a few edges for cutting a cavity.
