Deburring Tools

[Sub MandrelParticipant @submandrel]

I usually debur with the edge of a bit of HSS, or If I want agoo finish, a small file.

I thought I'd treat myself to a set of four proper deburrers (aluminium, brass/CI, steel, plastic). despite being small and incredibly cheap (4.10 for four with plastic handles from Arc Euro). The handles are abit naff, but actually have a clever twist lock and you can reoplace the inserts which are even cheaper.

What I hadn't appreciated is that each tool has a different geometry and swivels to cut at a suitable angle without digging in to the softer materials. In use, its a bit like peeling a potato. only you get a very neat, consistent very narrow bevel on the corner. You can also trim back any slight raised edge, as on where a bandsaw cut was made.

For such a simple item, i wish I had these years ago, they are also ideal for tidying up plastic kits, for example.

I’ve never used these before

Neil,

I've been using these De Burrer's for years in both work and hobby, I tend to use one tool for every thing from plastic to steel with no detrement. I also have two ceramic tools which look like knives with square cutting edges which are also quite good.
