Chamfering and deburring have been described as "unloved," a "necessary evil" and, in fact - "dead." After all, manual deburring is still common in many shops.
Chamfering and deburring of
cylindrical gears does not get
much love from manufacturers.
The process is seen as a necessary evil
since it is adding cost without adding
value. However, there are good reasons
for not underrating this important auxiliary
process. Chamfering and deburring
takes care of several issues which
may come up during the manufacture of
quality gears.
