A deburring wheel is used for removing sharp edges of parts. It removes material and rounds the corners over so that the angle is no longer coming to a point and it's rounded off instead. It is also good for transporting the parts and preventing them from damaging other things.
In this video, I'm going to show you how to use the deburring wheel, its different features, the shapes that you can get into with it as well as how to hold them properly for the best leverage and safety
Very few people talk about PPE, especially masks when working with metal. Good to see you emphasize it here.
Loved this video, and exactly what I needed for my lasercut and bent steel part deburring. The technique fundamentals and safety pointers are excellent. Thanks!
Great to hear! Glad we could help.
Very interesting and informative video, thank you!
Thank you!
Nice video for a beginner. Perhaps of greater use if you shared details regarding your suppliers. For example, the 8" grinders are obviously Harbor Freight because you can read the labels. Also, while the 3M deburing wheel is a familiar part number to 'me', perhaps it's not to everybody. Thus, in light of the market for this video being the less experienced, this is the only 'advice' I have for you because otherwise, this is a superb training video with great educational content. So good I would recommend to everybody regardless of your level of knowledge because even for the more experienced, it's always good to refresh on basics. Well done! And by the way, subscribed because if I ever begin to believe I know it all, it's time to take me out back and shoot me!
Great! Thanks for your positive comments. I learn something new in the shop every day and love to share those things. The wheel we use is a Norton product distributed my Mc Master:
Bench and Pedestal Grinding Wheel with Nylon Mesh, to Deburr Stainless Steel and Aluminum, Smooth, 6" Diameter, 1" Thick, Medium Density

Which 3M wheel do you use?
@@TigermothRacingTV 3M Silicon carbide fine. Medium would be a better choice but my supplier didn't carry it.
@@TigermothRacingTV what about those wheels on the carbide grinding set up?
Thanks for the video
What is the exact grade deburring wheel you are using. I get 3M deburring wheels from Tru Grit, they also have the 3M cast aluminum reducing flanges if you get the 8" wheels with the 3" hole. But if you need thinner flanges for 8" wheel you can get pressed steel flanges from SuperGrit which are much thinner. Both Tru Grit and SuperGrit have flanges for up to 12" wheels that have the 5" hole.
I think they are medium. We recently upgraded to 10 and 12 inch wheels on a new Baldor motor and have been enjoying the added clearance. We made a batch of our own adaptor flanges. That was a great project for our new apprentices to tackle and learn on.
@@TigermothRacingTV mediums are reddish in color, fine is gray. But there are a few different variances within each color.
Any idea why the market has a wide variety of prices? I see them anywhere from $34-$760 which to me is an insane difference. I just need one to clean up dings & dents for putters. Do you think a cheap one will suffice?
Yeah the pricing is wonky. The 3M ones are the best but the cheap ones work, they just wear out faster. Sometimes amazon will make a mistake and accidentally double your order on things like this that come 2 in box.
@@TigermothRacingTV nice ! What about a cheap buffing machine ? Any recommendations for something like cleaning up a putter ?
We use a 6in bench grinder from Harbor Freight for small wheels, works great.
@@TigermothRacingTV so the 3m works on the 6 inch ??
Yeah or the buffing motor.
Great. Do you use 3M deburring wheels or something else? I heard that only 3M deburring wheels are good. They last longer.
I think 3M is the best. This one we have is from McMaster. If you email them they will tell you what brand their products are if they are not disclosed.
@@TigermothRacingTV I just got 8" from Mcmaster. Its Norton. I got one for steel and another one for stainless steel /aluminum Norton is a well known Dimond tools brand.
You speak about safety but wear no gloves!!!!
You should not wear leather or other non tearing gloves when working on a deburring wheel. You can wear finger cots or rubber gloves that will tear off. Safety glasses or a face shield are much more important.
@@TigermothRacingTV In a machine shop like yours, I probably wouldn't wear gloves around a deburring wheel, since you deal with actual milled projects.
In my shop, I wear gloves all the time because all I do is deal with external burrs from a TCT saw and clean mill scale from tubing. Maybe that'll help develop a more purposeful way of doing things.
