Microsetting in hard metal alloys like 18k white gold eats through regular tungsten vanadium burs quickly — and cutting steel or titanium with standard burs is virtually impossible. Busch developed the 5120 Carbide Pavé Setting Bur Kit specifically to handle these demanding materials. The carbide construction stays sharp longer and cuts cleaner, delivering outstanding results where conventional burs fall short. This kit contains the essential bur types needed to complete the full pavé setting sequence on hard metals, including steel, platinum, titanium, and hard alloys of gold and silver.

The three-step pavé workflow is built into the kit's composition: begin by drilling starter holes with the short carbide twist drills, open and shape the stone seats with the carbide ball burs, then form the prongs and separate the settings using the miniature carbide circular saws. Each bur type is represented in the sizes most commonly needed for pavé work, making this kit a practical starting point for setters working in challenging alloys.

Features

  • Carbide construction stays sharp longer than tungsten vanadium burs in hard metals
  • Cuts cleanly in steel, platinum, titanium, and hard gold and silver alloys
  • Complete three-step pavé workflow: drill, seat, and separate/form prongs
  • Includes four twist drill sizes, six ball bur sizes, and two circular saw sizes
  • Short carbide twist drills (Fig 4205S) for precise starter holes
  • Round carbide ball burs (Fig 1AU) for opening and shaping stone seats
  • Carbide circular saws (Fig 231F and 231FL) in two kerf widths for prong forming and setting separation
