Deburring is the process of removing sharp edges or burrs from a workpiece. It is an important step in the finishing process of many metalworking operations, as it can help to prevent injuries and improve the appearance of the workpiece. There are a variety of deburring tools available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The most common type of deburring tool is the hand-held deburring tool. These tools are typically made of hardened steel and have a variety of cutting edges that can be used to remove burrs from a variety of materials. Hand-held deburring tools are relatively inexpensive and easy to use, making them a good choice for small-scale deburring operations.
Another type of deburring tool is the power deburring tool. These tools are typically more expensive than hand-held deburring tools, but they can be more efficient and effective, especially for large-scale deburring operations. Power deburring tools come in a variety of types, including rotary burrs, spindle sanders, and belt sanders. The type of power deburring tool that is best for a particular application will depend on the material of the workpiece, the size of the burrs, and the desired finish.
