3mm Carbide Cutter

This is a 3mm steel carbide cutter

Carbide cutters, drill reamers or drill rasps as otherwise known, are used as part of the tyre repair process and are designed to clean the hole made by the object that made the puncture.

When repairing a tyre to British Standard BS AU 159, the correct process is not only to patch the hole but to also fill the hole with filler material. In order to do so requires the hole to be cleaned and sized to match the filler material.The Carbide Cutters are normally mounted into a drill or die grinder and used to drill the hole to the desired size.

A 3mm Carbide Cutter is used on Moped tyres, Motorcycle tyres (from speed rating J to V) cars and light commercial tyres.

We also stock carbide cutters in 6mm, 8mm and 10mm diameters.
