Miniature Deburring Brushes for Smaller Cross-Drilled Holes

Small cross-drilled holes can pose significant deburring challenges for parts manufacturers. Cross-drilling creates burrs, protrusions of cut, torn, folded, and jagged metal that can affect dimensional tolerances, cause part misalignments, and limit the overall efficiency of machined components. 

Different cross-hole deburring technologies are available, but manual burr removal can be labor-intensive. For industries such as medical device manufacturing, part quality and consistency are also essential.
