Abstract
Systems and methods for conduit deburring include rotational bits and/or supporting structure for reducing burrs on conduit or other pipe or tubing, which often result from cutting. Certain devices simultaneously act on an entire circumference of a tubular end opening. Other devices act on only a portion of a circumference of a tubular end opening, but are guided, registered, or oriented for travel along the circumference to cut a chamfer of a predetermined angle along an interior edge thereof.
Claims20
A system for deburring conduit comprising:
- a shank extending from a proximal free end to a distal end;
- an end stop plate configured as a disk having a proximal side and an opposing distal side, wherein the proximal side of the end stop plate is coupled to the distal end of the shank;
- and
- a plurality of cutting flutes extending from the distal side of the end stop plate,
- wherein each cutting flute converges completely towards all other flutes, the flutes terminating at a pointed free end spaced from the distal side of the end stop plate.

A system for deburring conduit comprising:
- a drill guard comprising a conduit face, drill face, and shank aperture;
- a locking collar mechanically connected to the drill face of the drill guard, wherein the locking collar is co-axial with the shank aperture;
- a pipe guide mechanically connected to the drill guard;
- a fitting pipe affixed to and extending longitudinally from the conduit face of the drill guard;
- and
- a rotary file comprising a shank, extending from a proximal free end to a distal end, and a rotary head affixed to the distal end of the shank,
- wherein the rotary file is removably rotatably supported through the drill guard by threading the proximal free end of the hex shank through the shank aperture and locking the locking collar.
4 more elements
A method of deburring conduit, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a conduit having an end to be deburred, the conduit having a cross-sectional diameter;
- determining the size of the diameter;
- based on the size, selecting a conduit deburr system;
- contacting the conduit deburr system with the conduit;
- and
- deburring the conduit.
