Abstract
A stand-alone deburring apparatus greatly facilitates accurate deburring of difficult-to-access burrs located inside tubes, and does so in a manner which eliminates the need to tie up another more cumbersome and costly piece of machinery, such as a drill press. The apparatus includes a base plate, a motor with a horizontal shaft mounted to the base plate and a deburring body mounted vertically, adjacent the end of the shaft. The shaft coacts with toothed gears inside the body to rotatably drive the gears and a horizontally-oriented countersink coupled thereto. An adjustable collar provides a support surface or platform for supporting a tube to be deburred in alignment with the axis of the vertical body. With the vertically-oriented body, the horizontally-oriented countersink and the adjustable collar, the inside of a tube may be easily deburred while held in vertical orientation. This invention enhances the accuracy, the versatility and the availability of deburring operations for deburring the insides of tubes, for a relatively wide range of tube diameters and burr locations.
