Abstract
An adjustable deburring tool has a cutting head and a shank. The cutting head has a projecting ridge with a recessed portion. The shank has a groove that communicates with an open ended and open sided threaded bore. The ridge is slidably located in the groove with an adjusting screw screw-threaded in the threaded adjusting bore and partially located in the recessed portion of the ridge so that rotation of the adjusting screw causes lateral movement of the cutting head thereby adjusting the cutting diameter of the deburring tool.
