Hand Deburring
KenWalt Die Casting offers hand deburring and die trimming to smooth out imperfections and ensure that parts perform as designed. Burrs—those tiny, rough edges left behind during machining—can interfere with tight tolerances and proper alignment, making assembly more difficult. Even the slightest irregularity can create stress points and interfere with paints or other finishes.
Hand Die Trimming
KenWalt Die Casting leverages hand die trimming to deliver parts free from imperfections. Hand die trimming involves using hand tools—such as saws, files, drills, and routers—to carefully remove excess material or “flash” left behind after the initial forming process. Skilled technicians trim and refine each part to achieve the exact shape, fit, and finish required for its application.
Our Hand Deburring Process
Inspection & Identification
- Our technicians inspect each casting to look for burrs, rough spots, and sharp edges. If we identify issues that will impact performance and durability, the parts will be deferred to the manual deburring area.
Manual Deburring Tools & Techniques
- Precision Deburring – Used for precise material removal on tight edges or spaces.
Hand files – These are available in various shapes and grits to refine different surface contours.
Abrasive stones & sanding blocks – Used for smoothing rough areas and ensuring a uniform finish.
Rotary tools – Equipped with burr bits or polishing attachments for hard-to-reach areas.
Quality Inspection & Final Touches
- Every part undergoes an additional post-trimming and deburring inspection to confirm quality. Once all surfaces are defect-free, our team can apply additional finishing touches to enhance appearance and performance.
