All cutting and machining operations produce some type of burr or leave sharp edges on metal components. These unwanted by-products are especially troublesome when producing precision components such as gears. The burrs can loosen from the gear - either during assembly or later when the gear is in operation - and damage components or lead to critical part failure. Burr removal and edge prep are important processes performed during the manufacture of gears. These processes improve the quality, performance and reliability of the gears. Learn more about some best practices for gear deburring.
