De-burring Small Holes

[Rangemaster1]

I don't have time to go thru all eighteen pages of this thread, so my oppologies if something similar has already been posted.

Very simply made de-burring tools are shown in the attached photos. Not my idea. Saw it in Home Shop Machinist magazine some years ago so I bought some 1/4" shank carbide burrs. Whipped them out and use them almost every day for their intended purpose. Not pretty, just utilitarian. In one of the photos, I've gently de-burred some 8 x 40 tapped threads after enlarging the factory 6 x 48 threads in a Rem 700 receiver. Knurling is certainly optional. I did it so my arthed up fingers can hold on.

Happy machining,

Ron

I have a couple of pin vises that I use for that.

Something permanent would be good. I've used pin vises in the past for such task.

Very nice! I have some burrs just kicking around in my toolbox, and some nice mystery-metal aluminum rod that'll do nicely. It'll give me a chance to practice knurling.
