If the deburring cutter tools edge becomes blunt, one of the following tools can be used to lightly dress the cutting edge.
Please note: The edge should only be dressed lightly; if the tool is sharpened too much, the cutting edge angle may be altered and this will affect the cutting ability of the tool. For more precise and further sharpening, a professional tool grinding company should be used.
Die grinder
A hand-held tool, used for polishing, buffing, grinding and sanding of materials. A die grinder can be used on many different materials (e.g. metal, wood, plastic) and there are different head attachments available depending on the work needing to be done.
Diamond file
A diamond file has a very fine file blade, with a diamond abrasive (small grains of diamond). This provides a very hard, tough abrasive for sharpening and dulling edges on metals.
Diamond lap
A diamond lap is similar to the diamond file, although the lap is bigger in size, and is designed for larger filing applications (e.g. dressing the edge of a larger sized deburring cutter).
Hand-held deburring tools
Hand-held deburring tools can only effectively be sharpened by a specialist tool grinding company.
