Deburring is typically performed through cross-holes because this usually provides smoother access to the burrs. Cross-holes are often shorter, making it easier for the tool to be inserted. Since cross-holes are also usually drilled after the main hole, accessibility using a deburring tool through the cross-hole is guaranteed in this process setup. Furthermore, it is crucial to consider which burrs are more critical in subsequent steps (e.g., for the functionality of the component). If the more critical burrs are located within the cross-hole, then deburring of that hole should be prioritized.
Application Cases from Practice
Deburring of intersecting holes
Workpiece: 11SMn30+C steel, hydraulic components
Tool: HSD (High-Speed Deburring) deburring tool
"For quality reasons, even small batches of hydraulic components should be completely deburred using machine tools. The design feature of HSD tools is that the cutting edge remains retracted when the cooling medium is not under pressure, and only expands when pressure is applied at the required position, removing burrs with a 'pulsating' action. Depending on the material, even large burrs with a root thickness exceeding 0.2 mm, or those with attached flanges or drill caps, can be reliably removed. Despite different hole diameters, an HSD tool with a diameter of 11.30 mm can also be used to deburr cross holes produced on other parts. For hole diameters greater than 4 inches standard size, the same HSD tool can reliably remove burrs by traversing the deburring area in a circular spiral motion."
