Abstract

A deburring tool for intersecting holes is proposed. The tool has a hemispherical cutter head mounted on a pivoted shaft which is loaded against the burr edge by a set of springs. The cutter head is inserted into an intersecting hole up to the burr edge and is subsequently rotated counterclockwise with a return stroke. The cutter head size is selected such that the cutter head has maximum accessibility to the three dimensional burr edge. The cutting edge is designed to maintain proper ranges of rake angle and relief angle during deburring. The efficiency of the tool in terms of deburring speed is verified by a set of deburring tests on Al6061-T6. The measured depth of cut on the burr edge confirms the complete removal of burrs.
