It may be possible but the tool isn't really meant for that; I've only used it for deburring holes because I have other ways of dealing with rectilinear deburring.

Thanks Marv,

Your disk-shaped deburring tools for small hole deburring have been on my "want to buy" list of deburring tools. These would be excellent for mechanical clock repairing. I should have bought this style of deburring tool years ago because everytime I look to buy, they are more expensive. In the mean time a made some hole deburring tools from carbide burrs ( see http://www.homemadetools.net/forum/s...8820#post26314 ). I think using even smaller diameter burrs would be useful.

The carbide burrs are not as nice as the deburring tool made by Doug or your disk-shape deburring tools but these work well enough for a quick way to take the edge off drilled holes.

Regards,

Paul Jones

Congratulations rossbotics - your Deburring Tool is the Homemade Tool of the Week!

Some nice picks from this week: a Fishing Vise by darkoford, Spot Welder Electrodes by brianhw, an ER20 Collet Holder by Neil Jensen, a Speargun Trigger Mechanism by darkoford, and a 3D Printer Hot End by darkoford.

Also very notable was Neil Jensen's Arduino Indexer. We've experienced stunningly rapid technological growth as a community over the past few years, greatly fueled by our successful tradition of friendly weekly competitions like this one. The increasing appearance of Arduinos, Raspberry Pis, and, more broadly, electronic modification of tools, is likely a harbinger of what the future will bring for us.

rossbotics - you'll be receiving a $25 online gift card, in your choice of Amazon, PayPal, Giftrocket, or bitcoin. Please PM me your current email address and gift card choice and I'll get it sent over right away.

This is your 2nd Homemade Tool of the Week win in a row, after last week's excellent Center Punch and Guide. Two-in-a-row wins happen occasionally around here, but, like the Superbowl, nobody has yet won three in a row.

Also a hat tip to rossbotics for the suggestion to list all Homemade Tool of the Week winning tools in one place. I've created a weekly-updated post with all winning tools here: all Homemade Tool of the Week winning tools.

This is your 18th Tool of the Week win. Here are all of your 18 wins:
