Using a special ball in both the upper and lower part of the tool, the Rollerball Deburr pushes the burr away, creating a slight radius on the punched edge. Smooth to the touch, the deburred edge is consistent and has a finished, aes- thetically pleasing appearance. All part contours can be processed with the Rollerball Deburr tool, including small, tight corners.
The tool comes as a complete set including springs for adjusting tension appropriate for the material being punched.
