What is a deburrer?

A deburrer smooths edges and sides of manufactured parts, typically metal components, either manually or with a machine. As a deburrer, you inspect and finish equipment parts to ensure they fit properly into the machinery according to the specifications. Qualifications to become a deburrer include a high school diploma or equivalent and familiarity with machine shop tools. Some vocational schools and community colleges offer classes on deburring and quality control, though most employers provide on-the-job training.
