Abstract
A deburr tool for deburring an end of a conduit includes a handle, cutting bit, and head. The handle is to grasp the deburr tool. The handle has a handle axis. The cutting bit includes a distal end, proximal end, body portion and a cutting profile. The body portion is generally cylindrical and has a bit axis. The cutting profile is generally “U” shaped and resides in a plane generally parallel to the bit axis. The cutting profile tapers from an opening disposed at the distal end to an arcuate base. The opening has a distance between a first side and a second side that exceeds a wall thickness of the conduit. The head rotatably secures the cutting bit to the handle. The bit axis coincides with the handle axis.
Claims15
A deburr tool comprising:
- a handle including a threaded hilt and a body;
- a coupling element including a first threaded portion, a second threaded portion and two bearing surfaces, the first threaded portion mating with the threaded hilt;
- a cutting bit including a cutting portion having two prongs and an arcuate base therebetween, symmetric about a longitudinal axis of the handle, a substantially cylindrical body portion, a flange, and a base capable of bearing interchangeably upon each bearing surface of the coupling element to allow for rotation thereof during deburring;
- and
- a head including a threaded base and a body having an inner surface defining a bore therethrough, the threaded base mating with second coupling element threaded portion.
