AFA Tooling Deburring Tungsten Carbide Review

I've only used it a few times over the weekend on some big holes drilled in fairly thick steel and it's done an amazing job. I found it cuts better in one direction than the other. Don't break the terms of the deal, just had to get used to going that direction every time. I really thought this blade was going to snap, but after drilling a few holes I was amazed at the results. So far this has proven to be a good buy for mild steel work. Will be updated again in the future after more than a year

The handle is a 15/32 (12mm) thick hex piece of solid aluminum with good workmanship - it's strong and feels good in the hand. The blade locks into the handle and rotates 360*. When you run it over the deburring edge, the blade straightens up at right angles like a vegetable peeler. The curved blade cuts a rounded bevel into the material. You get 10 extra blades. Really nice useful tool. Many shaped objects, such as B. tackle boxes, have many sharp edges. This tool fixes it easily.

Take this review with a grain of salt as I use plastic. However, it works better than I expected. Deburring holes is not difficult at all and deburring edges is also easy with a little practice. You should pull the blade gently and use the bead at the end of the blade to hook the edge. My first attempts yielded a broken edge until I mastered the technique. I can't say anything about metal because I haven't tried it yet. It's me after all. For those deburring plastic this is a winner though…

Plumbing in the house. After buying a cheap plastic one that broke on first use I tracked this one down. Since we were locksmiths, the job always bought us this type of metal. I didn't expect cheap plastic to be so thin on cheap. The metal handle is great for deburring ID holes and gliding straight cuts with edge burrs. Easy to use. We call them twisted spikes, which is a more appropriate name. Typically used for aluminum or brass. Obviously a harder metal will wear down the blade quicker but…

I bought this to deburr 3D prints. It arrived quickly and in simple packaging. Resealing the ziplock packaging wasn't the best idea to pack this product as mine arrived used and dirty. The deburring tool was covered in oily fingerprints. I had to wipe off the oily fingerprints before putting them in my photo sphere as there was no dirty mechanical oil anywhere near my photo gear. Everywhere on the tool you can still see dirt, scratches and signs of wear. The tool's original blade also had deep…
