Selective Mechanical Contour Deburring

Mechanical removing of burrs by automatic machine tools is something that is not too extensively used. However, there are many deburring processes on which other means of deburring cannot be applied. In these cases manual deburring has been the only method. Successful deburring by contouring mechanisms in three axes has been found to be efficient and labor-saving. The discussion in this paper will introduce these selective mechanical contour deburring methods so that it will be universally known that there are available methods of deburring which will lend themselves to removal of burrs not controllable by means of conventional methods.
