Precision deburring removes raised areas (burrs) that are created during the machining of close-tolerance parts. Unless these surface imperfections are removed, problems with sealing or assembly may occur. Whether the machining process involves milling, drilling, or turning, deformation caused by stretching and produces burrs. Even precision machining with CNC equipment can create raised areas that […]
Deburring metal parts by hand is a time-consuming way to remove burrs, small protrusions that can interfere with seating, sealing, and assembly. Manual deburring uses inexpensive hand tools instead of machinery or equipment but can only deburr a single part at a time. By contrast, cryogenic deburring is an automated process that uses specialized equipment […]
Manual deburring is a time-consuming and labor-intensive way to remove burrs from machined plastic parts. At a time when good workers are hard to find, hand deburring is also an inefficient way to deploy labor resources. The use of hand trimmers, deburring blades, rotary deburring tools, and wire brushes can also contribute to worker fatigue […]
Aerospace deburring for precision machined parts needs to account for the fact that these components must meet critical tolerances that are sometimes measured in thousands of an inch. These machined aerospace parts also need a surface finish that’s free from burrs, raised areas that are created by operations such as drilling, milling, and turning. If […]
Blind holes are machined openings that do not pass through the entire workpiece. They are drilled, milled or reamed to a specific depth but without breaking through to the other side. If a blind hole requires reaming, it’s important to leave some extra room at the bottom for chips. With tapped holes, this extra amount […]
