What is deburring?

Deburring is the process of removing small imperfections, known as burrs, from the edges or surfaces of metal, plastic, or other materials after they have been cut, drilled, or machined. Burrs are unwanted pieces of material that can affect the performance, safety, and appearance of finished products. Deburring can be done manually with hand tools, or by using machines and specialized equipment. This process helps ensure parts fit together properly and meet quality standards.
