Abstract
The disclosure relates to a device for deburring at least one borehole opening of a metal workpiece, wherein the device has a rotationally symmetrical countersink bit. The countersink bit of the device is designed to remove at least one burr of the at least one borehole opening. The countersink bit can be introduced into an opening forming the at least one borehole opening and rotated. The disclosure also relates to a corresponding method.
Claims14
A device for deburring at least one borehole in a metal workpiece, the device comprising a rotationally symmetric form cutter, the rotationally symmetric form cutter including a plurality of shearing edges and a plurality of land ridges, wherein each shearing edge of the plurality of shearing edges is arranged in pairs on two circumferential sides of a respective land ridge, wherein the form cutter is configured to remove at least one burr from the at least one borehole in that it is able to be plunged into an opening intersecting the at least one borehole and rotated.
A method for deburring at least one borehole in a metal workpiece, comprising deburring the at least one borehole by applying a rotationally symmetric form cutter to the workpiece, the rotationally symmetric form cutter including a plurality of shearing edges and a plurality of land ridges, wherein each shearing edge of the plurality of shearing edges is arranged in pairs on two circumferential sides of a respective land ridge, wherein each land ridge of the plurality of land ridges comprises a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion, wherein the first portion is formed parallel to a longitudinal axis of the form cutter, wherein the second portion comprises a first angle with respect to the longitudinal axis, and wherein the third portion comprises a second angle with respect to the longitudinal axis, wherein the second angle is greater than the first angle, wherein the at least one borehole is deburred by plunging the form cutter into an opening intersecting the at least one borehole and rotating the form cutter.
