Stainless steel is one of the toughest metals available in manufacturing right now. People use it because it stands up to wear and tear. However, that same durability can pose a problem when fine-tuning the steel after manufacturing, as few tools are strong enough to stand up to the firmness of steel.
A stainless steel deburring tool is one tool that can work on steel despite its toughness. Deburring tools help remove burrs and pieces of metal that get caught in the manufacturing process and affect the final finish of the metal. Here are a few insights into how this tool can work on stainless steel.
The Tool Is Made of Stainless Steel as Well
To get a tool that is strong enough to work on stainless steel, manufacturers make a custom deburring tool out of the same material. Stainless steel is strong enough to fine-tune the same material, so it makes sense to use tools made out of it.
Besides the material, a deburring tool for stainless steel works the same way as any other tool. It has an abrasive surface or teeth to remove burrs and other imperfections.
Only Use the Tool on Stainless Steel
If you work with other types of material, make sure that you use your stainless steel deburring tool only on stainless steel. Otherwise, you could cross-contaminate the stainless steel with iron shavings from other materials that would mar its finish, which is the reason you are using stainless steel in the first place.
