Abstract

Presented is a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for deburring. An apparatus includes a body, a first abrasive surface coupled to the body, and a second surface coupled to the body, the second surface positioned relative to the first abrasive surface, wherein the second surface is positioned between 1° and 90° relative to the first abrasive surface. The apparatus further includes a third abrasive surface coupled to the body, the third abrasive surface positioned perpendicular to the first abrasive surface and the second surface along a terminal edge of the first abrasive surface and a terminal edge of the second surface.

Claims (32)

1. An apparatus for deburring, the apparatus comprising:

a body;

a first abrasive surface coupled to the body;

a second surface coupled to the body, the second surface positioned relative to the first abrasive surface, wherein the second surface is positioned between 1° and 90° relative to the first abrasive surface; and

a third abrasive surface coupled to the body, the third abrasive surface positioned perpendicular to the first abrasive surface and the second surface along a terminal edge of the first abrasive surface and a terminal edge of the second surface, wherein the first abrasive surface, and the third abrasive surface are operable to remove burrs from an edge of a cylindrical item upon rotation of the cylindrical item maintained in contact with the first abrasive surface, and the third abrasive surface.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first abrasive surface and the second surface form a “V” shape.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first abrasive surface is spaced from the second surface.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first abrasive surface is adjacent to the second surface.

5. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second surface is an abrasive surface.

6. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first abrasive surface, the second surface, and the third abrasive surface are operable to be removeably coupled to the body.

7. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the body comprises a slide guide, and wherein the third abrasive surface is operable to be removably and slidably attached to the body within the slide guide.

8. The apparatus according to claim 1 , the apparatus further comprising a fourth abrasive surface coupled to the body, and a fifth abrasive surface coupled to the body, the fifth abrasive surface positioned between 1° and 90° relative to the first abrasive surface, and wherein the third abrasive surface is positioned along a terminal edge of the fourth abrasive surface and the fifth abrasive surface.

9. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the body comprises a spring clip operable to removeably attach to the first abrasive surface.

10. A method of manufacture, the method comprising:

(a) providing a body;

(b) providing a first abrasive surface coupled to the body;

(c) providing a second surface coupled to the body, the second surface positioned relative to the first abrasive surface, wherein the second surface is positioned between 1° and 90° relative to the first abrasive surface; and

(d) providing a third abrasive surface coupled to the body, the third abrasive surface positioned perpendicular to the first abrasive surface and the second surface along a terminal edge of the first abrasive surface and a terminal edge of the second surface, wherein the first abrasive surface, and the third abrasive surface are operable to remove burrs from an edge of a cylindrical item upon rotation of the cylindrical item maintained in contact with the first abrasive surface, and the third abrasive surface.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the first abrasive surface and the second surface form a “V” shape.

12. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the first abrasive surface is spaced from the second surface.

13. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the first abrasive surface is adjacent to the second surface.

14. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the second surface is an abrasive surface.

15. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the body comprises a slide guide, and wherein the third abrasive surface is operable to be removably and slidably attached to the body within the slide guide.

16. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the body comprises a spring clip operable to removeably attach to the first abrasive surface.

17. A method of deburring, the method comprising:

(a) placing an item in contact with a first abrasive surface, a second surface positioned relative to the first abrasive surface, wherein the second surface is positioned between 1° and 90° relative to the first abrasive surface, and a third abrasive surface, the third abrasive surface positioned perpendicular to the first abrasive surface and the second surface along a terminal edge of the first abrasive surface and a terminal edge of the second surface; and

(b) rotating the item relative to the first abrasive surface, the second surface, and the third abrasive surface, and wherein the first abrasive surface, the second surface, and the third abrasive surface are coupled to a body.

18. The method according to claim 17 , wherein the first abrasive surface and the second surface form a “V” shape.

19. The method according to claim 17 , wherein the first abrasive surface, and the third abrasive surface are operable to remove burrs from an edge of the item upon rotation of the item maintained in contact with the first abrasive surface, and the third abrasive surface.

20. The method according to claim 17 , wherein the second surface is moveable relative to the first abrasive surface between 1° and 90°.

21. The method according to claim 17 , wherein the first abrasive surface, the second surface, and the third abrasive surface are operable to be removeably coupled to the body.

22. The method according to claim 17 , wherein a portion of the first abrasive surface comprises a slide guide and a removeable abrasive slide, the removeable abrasive slide operable to removeably attached to the first abrasive surface by the slide guide.
