I worked for 7 years as a deburrer in a production shop before I moved on to QC. I can't tell you how many one-off tools I had to make over that time, and I was always looking for items that might be useful - dental probes and picks, welding wire, random pieces of scrap metal - you name it. I still have a triangle knife that was made out of a broken carbide end mill. We also had a cryogenic deburring machine for most types of plastic (except for UHMWP) that we could use, although it was a pain to set up and tear down, so not much use for smaller jobs.
Tell me more about the cryogenic setup, please. Is the idea to freeze the plastic so it would be more brittle and easier to surface finish or deburr? Why not UHMWP?
@@bvcxzgt5451 Yes, the machine used liquid nitrogen to freeze the parts and used a wheel to throw 2mm plastic beads at them to remove most of the burrs. It really didn't affect the surface finish, though. UHMWP didn't turn brittle enough at that temperature and stayed flexible, so the burrs didn't break off when the beads hit.
You depth of knowledge and eloquent articulation without waste is inspiring. Once I finish my current project (basement refinishing)... I hope to get back to updating my youtube channel and hope to be half as eloquent as you. Quality of information is excellent.
In case you're wondering, the part in the lathe filing demo has a lot of runout because it's some scrap that I re-chucked. We learned in the concentricity video why that runout happens. For deburring, it really doesn't matter much though! Learn more here: ruclips.net/video/MofsvIIKx3k/видео.html
I just found your channel when searching for how to use a deburring tool, and your knowledge, presentation style, and humor are top-tier! I'm definitely going to be catching up on your past catalogue of videos!
In plumbing we call that tool a 'pencil reamer' or reaming pencil or pen. They are commonly used to deburr the inside of copper pipe after cutting. Thanks for the amazing series!
I thought parting was supposed to be a moment of joy. ;) But I feel ya, Nick. I'm on binge round 2, of probably 4 of 5 before I get through the backlog. :)
The deburring tool you showed after the tapered reamer, in my shop we call a "whirlybird", for hopefully obvious reasons when deburring round holes. A shop-made tool we often use is a piece of 1/4" drill rod slotted on one end to accept a doubled-over piece of sandpaper or emery cloth, chucked in a die grinder at the other end of the rod, works well to deburr intersections of drilled holes, and lightly hone, as well. This we call a "weedeater".
When you demonstrated how not to hold a file over a lathe, I tought to myself: wow this is super unintuitive, who would ever do that. Then I realized that I am left-handed, and thats why. So maybe that's something to keep in mind: If the handle of your file is in your right hand while next to a lathe that means you're either running your lathe backwards or you're not being safe
They say so many southpaws die every year as a result of using equipment designed for righthanded people. Have you checked if they sell lefthanded files or a lefthanded lathe?
@@giantpune I suppose if it were really that important, one could buy a lathe where you can take off the headstock and simply mount it to the other side of the bed. Personally I don't think it's worth investing in special lefthanded equipment tough- if you're ever outside your own shop and you need to use any tool that isn't yours, chances are it is going to be a right-handed version so you better be used to it.
It is sometimes underestimated the importance of removing those sharp burrs. During my apprenticeship the college lecturer told us that any completed workpieces that we handed into him for assessment would be subject to his ‘thumb’ test. This test was the lecturer running his thumb over all the edges of the finished part to check for burrs. If he felt any sharp edges (or cut himself) you were in for a good telling off! All our engineering drawings at Rolls-Royce have a standard set of notations which state that all burrs and sharp edges are to be removed.
Thank you for the detailed comments on lathe filing. Many don't take this as seriously as they should. I have a friend that got the tang of a file jammed into his palm. He won't use a file without a handle now. A little late but better than never.
Great video, I've been binging your series, thanks for putting the time in for these. A safety note about the spinning deburring tools, be careful with them, I've seen people use them to debur towards themselves, and the end would snap off, and they would end up stabbing themselves with the broken edge. One of those things to be aware of using them. One shop I worked in actually banned them.
I've always just called the deburring tool a swivel deburr tool but one of the guys I work with calls it a whirly bird, I've also found machinist scrapers handy for deburring
Very well done video. I'd add there's very good reasons for dropping the rpm while filing in a lathe. Since all cutting tools have a maximum surface speed they can tolerate while cutting then files are no different. My semi educated guess is most or maybe all files are made from a high carbon steel. It's maximum on mild steel is roughly 50 to 60 ft. per min. verses approximately 100 ft. per min. for high speed steel. File at too high an rpm and you'll also seriously dull the teeth.
If I am using a file to put on any more than the tiniest chamfer I occasionally find the file loads up. After more than a couple of strokes I clean out the filings with my fingers. Loading up the file teeth with "railway chalk" first helps keep those tiny filings from filling up the spaces between the file teeth. Great videos!
Ok. So...did I just hear inanimate objects talking to me? Pesky emery paper, macro lens, and...a Mohawk duck? Oh my. Good tutorial, as usual. I really enjoy the humor you use with the information. Thanks. And meow back to Sprocket, although I didn't hear the meows in the beginning.
That opening was a diagram indicating the copious amounts of cat hair that I see to have on my shirt. I really should do laundry before going on camera.
Nice video ... Safety should be #1 in every shop! OH! by the way my middle name is Quinn..... Named after Anthony Quinn the actor. . Have a great day and keep up the good videos!
I have yet to bring myself to buying a Noga-style "deburring" tool. Triangular knives, ground down retired files. Frankly, I really don't know why I haven't just done it. (QD, I always enjoy rewatching this series!)
Okay, so I finally acquired a Noga Classic and a no-name copy: The blades made a huge difference. The Noga has really good blades (S10) and do a pretty good job. The copy is serviceable and I have relegated it to plastics only.
Fantastic series, learned so much! However, the irony was not lost on me when there was a safety briefing with the file in hand, with the safety cover removed from the pole behind the chuck. Is there a way to make that safety feature (that all the rebranded China lathes seem to come with) useful or is it actually better to just outright remove that and practice good overall safety? Seems like everybody removes these covers from theirs from what I could tell so far. Again, amazing content, subbed!
I used this machine for about a year with guard in place, and have since removed it. The fact is that it does get in the way for a lot of operations, and I found it was teaching me bad habits. It made me complacent about the area around the chuck because it was "safe". I feel better having a healthy fear of that area, while still being able to get in close where all the good rigidity is.
@@Blondihacks Thanks for the answer, Quinn, totally makes sense. Just wanted to know your thought process behind this because you obviously are more experienced than me in that field. Now that you started the milling series, any chance we will get more installments of the Lathe Skills series? I am so looking forward to single point thread cutting, using boring bars. Also, is CNC part of your repertoire? Thanks again and all the best!
mhe0815 You bet- Lathe Skills is definitely not finished. More to come in that series. I do have CNC experience but I’m not sure if/when I’ll cover that. It’s a huge topic all on its own.
For drilled holes, I use a Weldon Countersink. They come in various diameters, are cone shaped and come in 82, 90 and 100 degrees. I much prefer them to those 4 fluted deburring tools.
ALWAYS put yor front finger OVER the file tip so if anything happens it bumps your finger tip instead of the file ,its foolproof. Great Vid Blondie !!!!
That deburr tool at the 3:30 we always called a whirley-gig ...have no idea where that nickname came from , but in the trade a lot of places refer to these as such
Hi Quinn good stuff as usual wish your videos were a little longer but you seem to squeeze everything into the time you use,we use deburring in watchmaking as well but after that we also burnishing with very hard smooth steel if you are ever in Pensacola fla. Stop and say hello
@@Blondihacks I trust you've discovered Clickspring*? :D [* that is, the RUclips channel by that name.] [edit: I know, he has clocks, not watches... just...... in that realm.]
hi! I recently bought what looks to be the same lathe you have! Mine is a 10x22 with variable speed. I was wondering what you do for routine lathe maintenance since yours looks so pristine. I'm always worried about cleaning it too well and then parts get rusty
In regards to the deburring a part, while it’s spinning in a lathe. You might mention the dangers of wearing long sleeves. Especially loose long sleeves. Or unbound hair, or anything that has a tendency to hang down. The danger zone isn’t only the lathe chuck, but also the power feed screw too. It will spin you right round baby right round like a record player right round right round. ;) .
It sounds from everything you said that lathe filing the edge from below would be a better option. That way you wouldn't obstruct your view of what you were doing either. (P.S. And running the lathe in reverse, of course).
As a screw machine guy, burrs could be my enemy, Who wants to make 25,000 pieces, then deburr them? Commonly, I could eliminate burrs from happening by timing two different tools to intersect in the moment. Let's say on a lathe, you face a part, then drill it. My first drill often would be a centering drill to cut a diameter slightly larger than the drilled hols. Facing tool burr ahead of facing tool cut, same thing with center drill, but at 90 degrees to facing burr. So, by keeping both tools in contact with the work at the end of their cuts, both tools can eliminate the burrs created by the other tool. Similar results by overlaping O.D. turning and cut off tools. Just a little preplanning could save me hours of boring deburring!
Raised on a farm, machinery was always around. In my family, as soon as your legs were long enough to reach the clutch, you got put on a tractor or grain truck. 😀 Stuff like this follows from there, I guess.
@@Blondihacks I have a friend who grew up on a farm, dropped out of school, enlisted in the Marine Corps, got a few degrees (7 graduate degrees, MD, engineering, etc) and became an astronaut. When asked which of those things got him selected to go on the first mission to fix Hubble, he says 'The farm kid. Because farm kids can fix or build anything, it's a long walk home if you can't fix the tractor.' Us farm kids have a special advantage in this world. :)
@@robertbownes6718 I think the main special advantage is that we're not afraid to try to fix or build something. There's also an ingrained attitude of "Why spend the money to buy something when I can at least TRY to fix the old one? Money might be in short supply next year.
I am probably showing my ignorance, but I don't understand the comment about the direction you move the file at 6:47. Surely the work is spinning much faster than you move the file, so you will always be filing the "right way" regardless if you move the file forward or backwards. In fact why do you need to move it at all? Unless it's to avoid using the same section of the file. Can you explain?
If you try to just hold the file on one place and let the lathe do the “filing”, it’s difficult to control the engagement of the teeth on the file. A smooth forward motion gives better control and better results. You lift the file on the backstroke so that the lathe doesn’t grab it and throw it at you.
Quinn, at 5:19: "safety is extra important here, for a number of reasons" Me: "is that blood above the sticker?" Quinn, at 5:25: "... meatblender... " Me: Yikes! Uhh.... maybe it is?!?
Has anyone else come to the point of having so many accessories and tools that you have forgotten you have them or worse what they are for? I know I bought that noga deburring tool even various tips, at least I stopped buying micrometers at only three sets.
That point is dangerously close for me. The only thing saving me is my very space-limited shop and the knowledge that I'm going to have to move it not too long from now.
Blondihacks Well I have farm, so the two car garage is dedicated to woodworking, the metal working occupies the barn as the Bridgeport is eight feet tall now, sorry horses it’s warm out now. So new maybe another barn or two in the future, the Jeep wants in.
Blondihacks Love my 79 cj7, maybe 10 percent original, lol I first learned to weld on that Jeep, learned about points, how to remove broken bolts, wiring , engine rebuilding, even learned to sew replacing fogged vinyl windows and seats. Ok jeep stays in the stall my iron horse .
Your link to the Nicholson needle files is broken. I found them by searching Amazon for "Nicholson needle files", but you probably don't get a commission if I do that.
All I do in the shop I work in is deburr. It's a lot of work sometimes and I can't help but feel some operators don't care about changing out dull tools because "deburr will just take care of it." Any deburring operators do is appreciated because it means less work for me that would have taken them a couple of minutes to do between cycles.
Thank you for another excellent film. Bad joke alert - perhaps consider some background music for this subject - maybe some Chris de Burgh. I told you it was bad (sorry!).
i don't see how anyone could be tempted to reach around the chuck with a file. it is an uncomfortable position and extremely dangerous. Abom does it all the time but i just don't see the point.
I’m glad you mentioned filing! I recently got smacked in the face by a Nicholson file, I was using it on my south end lathe, and it somehow snagged and snapped. On piece flew across the room, the hand smacked me in the gut and the third piece hit me in the face!
I'm totally down with your focus on safety. And, I love your sense of humor. Talking about meet blenders keeping your hotdogs safe makes me think of this scene from Zathura. ruclips.net/video/vIWRZ6OSIeQ/видео.html

When asked which of those things got him selected to go on the first mission to fix Hubble, he says 'The farm kid. Because farm kids can fix or build anything, it's a long walk home if you can't fix the tractor.' Us farm kids have a special advantage in this world. :)
@@robertbownes6718 I think the main special advantage is that we're not afraid to try to fix or build something. There's also an ingrained attitude of "Why spend the money to buy something when I can at least TRY to fix the old one? Money might be in short supply next year.
I am probably showing my ignorance, but I don't understand the comment about the direction you move the file at 6:47. Surely the work is spinning much faster than you move the file, so you will always be filing the "right way" regardless if you move the file forward or backwards. In fact why do you need to move it at all? Unless it's to avoid using the same section of the file. Can you explain?
If you try to just hold the file on one place and let the lathe do the “filing”, it’s difficult to control the engagement of the teeth on the file. A smooth forward motion gives better control and better results. You lift the file on the backstroke so that the lathe doesn’t grab it and throw it at you.
@@Blondihacks OK, that makes sense. Thanks for explaining.

@11:25 - Firefly reference ❤❤❤ Wash ❤❤❤
I was today years old when I learned what the notches were for in calipers. For context, I was about 5 or 6 then and I’m 26 now 🤦♂️
Has anyone else come to the point of having so many accessories and tools that you have forgotten you have them or worse what they are for? I know I bought that noga deburring tool even various tips, at least I stopped buying micrometers at only three sets.
That point is dangerously close for me. The only thing saving me is my very space-limited shop and the knowledge that I'm going to have to move it not too long from now.

Well I have farm, so the two car garage is dedicated to woodworking, the metal working occupies the barn as the Bridgeport is eight feet tall now, sorry horses it’s warm out now. So new maybe another barn or two in the future, the Jeep wants in.
@@FrancisoDoncona Horses can always grow more coat. The Jeep needs to stay warm! My '74 CJ5 got quite cranky indeed when it was cold. 😄

Love my 79 cj7, maybe 10 percent original, lol
I first learned to weld on that Jeep, learned about points, how to remove broken bolts, wiring , engine rebuilding, even learned to sew replacing fogged vinyl windows and seats. Ok jeep stays in the stall my iron horse .
Your link to the Nicholson needle files is broken. I found them by searching Amazon for "Nicholson needle files", but you probably don't get a commission if I do that.
Thanks for letting me know! I’ll check it out
All I do in the shop I work in is deburr. It's a lot of work sometimes and I can't help but feel some operators don't care about changing out dull tools because "deburr will just take care of it." Any deburring operators do is appreciated because it means less work for me that would have taken them a couple of minutes to do between cycles.
Well I'll be a fay-fay duh pee-yen - I never knew that about the cut-outs on the caliper jaws. Xiexie!
de all the burrs!!!1one!
Any tips for deburring my dog. I'm only half kidding. Lol
Steve Shindeldecker Oh gosh, I feel that pain. When in doubt, clippers are sometimes the only way. 😁
i love you so much your the bomb
"I've trimmed this part three times and it's STILL too small!"
Burrs are metal fuzz :)
Washburn enters the chat. lol
Thank you for another excellent film. Bad joke alert - perhaps consider some background music for this subject - maybe some Chris de Burgh. I told you it was bad (sorry!).
Brrrr. It’s cold
i don't see how anyone could be tempted to reach around the chuck with a file. it is an uncomfortable position and extremely dangerous. Abom does it all the time but i just don't see the point.
Oh those pesky little burrs...always trying to make trouble. What is ducky name....lol
That's Punk Duck, my shop good luck charm.
Lol

@@Blondihacks Now all you need is a pretty little bonnet.
Also check your spelling or you could end up with a very annoyed cat 😁
👍 lots of good little giggles 🤣
Uh oh, what did I spell incorrectly?
Nothing... 🤣 always good to check with yourself that you are using the correct method . you cant join timber with a welder 😁
@@billbaggins Tell me about it! I keep trying, and the damn stuff catches fire!! What a strange material. Maybe I don't have the wire feed set right.
🤣 .. Tree is good stuff tho, can be very pretty but hard to add a bit on if you cut one end too short .
I’m glad you mentioned filing! I recently got smacked in the face by a Nicholson file, I was using it on my south end lathe, and it somehow snagged and snapped. On piece flew across the room, the hand smacked me in the gut and the third piece hit me in the face!
Y’ouch! I hope you’re okay!
I am now! It addled me a bit but it taught me to wear PPE!
I'm totally down with your focus on safety. And, I love your sense of humor. Talking about meet blenders keeping your hotdogs safe makes me think of this scene from Zathura. ruclips.net/video/vIWRZ6OSIeQ/видео.html
you should see my shirt. i love my cnc machine builds i could be rich so fast but i just wanna watch you shine mrs awesome
i like a girl who shows me where my huckleberry is located
Even metal gets hangnails.
A hand deburring tool is is not suitable for deburring hands, no matter what the name says. They leave scars...
