Best way for deburring drilled holes?

[jtrom]

How do you remove burrs from holes drilled in steel and aluminum? I tried using a larger size drill bit and twisting it by hand but it seemed to countersink a little...

I use a larger drill sometimes, or a countersink tool. It's generally OK to have a slight countersink. More often I use a special deburring tool with a little swlveling hooked cutter that works very well; the nice thing about them is that you can deburr the back side of a blind hole with them.

I use this for small drilled holes. Works great. I usually spin it by hand, as my drill puts enough pressue on the bit to remove more material than I want. One turn is all it takes.

I generally use the same tool as Ryan except I chuck it into an electric screw driver--makes quick work of deburring especially when you have a lot of holes like in a fuse or wing skin.

Depends on how many holes and what materials. BearTex wheels, ScotchBrite disks, large bits, broken off file sections with a grip glued to them, and for hundreds of holes at a time in thicker materials there is this:

I used a variety of tools w/this speed deburrer being the most used:http://www.aircraft-tool.com/shop/de...DUCT_ID=SP275A

The tool Dana highlighted is great for holes you can't see the other side of and for doing the edge of aluminum sheet.

This tool is a homemade version, it is a bic pen holder with a dremel bit glued in, it is great for doing the inside of a C channel or other places the speed deburrer can't go: http://webhosting.web.com/imagelib/s...g&target=_self

Will the swiveling blade tool work on small holes?...like 3/16 inch in diameter?
