We often have to drill a substantial number of holes in 1/2" aluminum
pipe. When we do, we usually get small-to-medium burrs in the process.
What's the best way to minimize or eliminate these burrs when
drilling, and the fastest, most effective way to remove them when they
occur? We're currently filing them off by hand. While this usually
only takes a few seconds per hole, it adds up to a substantial amount
of time when we have a lot of holes to do. A standard
deburring/countersink tool won't work because the surface is curved.
We've tried using a Shaviv deburring blade, but find the burrs are
often too big to remove effectively, and it often leaves a jagged hole.
TIA.
