Edge deburr of sheared nickel and stainless sheet





My company is looking for a product/device that will deburr the sheared edge of nickel and stainless sheet of various thicknesses. The burr is caused by the knives of the shear during the separation of the metal. The height of the burr can be up to .025 inches along the length of the sheared edge. Aesthetics are important so the tool must be fairly precise. I was thinking about a tool that would be abrasive, contain an edge guide or finder for the work and a tool mount than would allow adjustment of the angle of the grind.
Has anyone heard of anything available?

I doubt if you will be satisfied with anything less than a horizontal mill.

A simple solution

Buy an angle grinder [on eBay or Amazon] . Fix it at the desired angle . Pass on the parts you wanted to deburr through a stopper . A simple and easy way . But take care for flying burrs .

Maybe a hand held deburring tool that is available from any industrial supply house.

I did some contract work for a casting house in central FL a number of years ago. They used long abrasive belts to remove the flash from the mold and the material at the spew holes. They said that it was more cost effective than using milling machines. A lot of that was because of the irregular shapes of the numerous parts that they cast in SS.
I doubt if truly hand held deburring tool will give the desired finish. Great employees can do it, but not run of the mill ones.
