What is a hand-held deburring tool? |

 |
A hand-held deburring tool is designed to remove burrs from a workpiece. | |||
 |
The deburring tool can be used on wood, non-ferrous metals (e.g. aluminium, brass etc.), plastic, copper and nylon. | |||
 |
Hand-held deburring tools are generally used on soft materials to remove any small burrs and leave a slightly chamfered edge. | |||
 |
Hand-held deburring tools can be used to quickly and immediately deburr drilled holes and cut off ends of pipework. They do not require a machine or drill. | |||
 |
Hand held deburring tools can vary in design depending on the number of flutes they have.
The amount of flutes will affect the quality of the finish; the higher the number, the better the finish produced. For more information, see the section: What are the flutes? |

What sizes are available? |
||||
 |
Hand-held deburring tools are available in two sizes: 12.4mm (0.5″) and 25mm (1″).
These sizes refer to the diameter of the widest part of the head. |
|||
 |
The size of deburrer that you require will depend upon the size of the hole to be deburred.
As a general rule, if the hole is greater than 14.0mm then the larger deburring tool (25mm) should be purchased. If the tool is too small or large for the hole, it won’t be effective. |
