Deburring is the process of smoothing the rough edges or ridges on a machined part. At George Braswell's Command Tech deburring is done on aluminum, steel, plastics and other materials. There is a certain finesse that a good deburrer acquires.

4. Materials
 At Command Tech deburring is done on
aluminum, steel, plastics and other materials.
 Deburring can also be done on additional types
of metals, wood, cardboard and more materials
for other uses.
 Any piece or part that is made by machining can
benefit from deburring.

5. Examples
 If you have ever nicked yourself when drinking
from a plastic cup that had a rough edge, felt a
rough edge on a toy or felt the rough edge of a
freshly clipped fingernail you can understand
why sharp edges and ridges should be removed.
 Sharp edges on a machined part cause the same
effect.

6. Dangers
 Additionally these pieces have the potential to
fall off when the part is in use.
 When critical machined parts are in use these
sharp pieces can fall off and short out
electronics that control aircraft, helicopters or
missiles if not removed.

7. Deburring Department
 The deburring department use files, sharpened
files, deburring tools, sand paper, Dremel tools,
and tumbling.
 Some deburring can be done on the CNC
machines.

8. Deburring Department Employees
 Employees must be properly trained to handle
sharp parts in order to avoid injury while
deburring.
 They must learn the difference between
deburring properly and destroying a part.
 Improper deburring leads to parts that must be
scrapped and can not be sold which is very
costly for the company.

9. Specs
 All manufacturing parts have a specific finish
call out on the blueprints.
 Deburring must be able to debur a part without
damaging the finish on the part.
 There is a certain finesse that a good deburrer
acquires.
