How the Tools Work

Shared Product Features

All E-Z Burr product lines utilize the same exclusive E-Z Burr patents.* That’ s why they share the following common features: solid arbor design, easy blade adjustment, quick blade / insert exchange and the unique spring-type blade and flex arm. These patented features not only make our products extremely durable but also insure outstanding part-to-part consistency.
* With the exception of the Micro Series
As the rotating tool is fed into the work piece, the extended blade / insert cuts and deburrs the front burr as the blade / insert is collapsing into the blade / insert slot.
Easy to Use in All Machines
When its completely collapsed, the tool continues through the hole. The top of the blade / insert has a polished crown so it does not mark the bore while being fed through.
Once the tool has cleared the backside of the hole, the blade / insert springs back out of the arbor, the feed direction is reversed and the rear burr is cut as the tool is withdrawn
After the cutting blade has finished the operation and is completely collapsed in the bore on the return stroke, the tool may be rapid fed out of the part and begin the next hole.
Solid Arbor
Unlike the hollow arbor or the tuning fork styles of some competitors, the E-Z Burr Deburring Tool has a solid arbor. This not only makes it tough and rigid, it also maximizes cutting power and lengthens the life of the tool, especially in rugged machining conditions where weaker tools might break
Easy Adjustability
E-Z Burr Tools are easy to maintain, and set-up is quick and straight-forward. Used in metal working operation all over the world, the tools run on a variety of machines including Dial, Transfer and CNC machining centers, along with Bridgeports, drill presses and even hand drills. Because of the simples feed and retrieve action, no special skills are needed. These photos demonstrate two of the applications where E-Z Burr Tools are used.
In this CNC illustration, a round stainless steel tube with a 5 / 8” cross hole is being deburred on the O. D. and I. D.( top and bottom or even the front and rear side) of the hole. The customer is using a 5 / 8th diameter carbide tool. The carbide insert lasted over ten thousand parts before having to be changed.
This is a lower volume job being run on a Bridgeport. The 3 / 32” crossholes-were breaking into the 1.0” bores and it was very difficult to removes the burrs until an E-Z Burr Tool was used. Now clean burr-free holes are achieved without any difficulty.
With the E-Z Burr Tool, Cutting pressure adjusts with a simple turn of the Allen screw conveniently exposed on the side of the shank.
This provides a range of cutting pressures from the extreme low to extreme hight, depending on the nature of the burr size, the amount of material to b removed and the composition of the work piece.
Once the tension is set, Low-break Loctite seals the adjusting screw to maintain torque tension so part-topart consistency is assured.
