  • Patent number: 8696266
    Abstract: The invention relates to a deburring tool for deburring abutting edges at orthogonally and obliquely extending transversal boreholes having a diameter of less than 10 mm in a component, such as an engine block, an injection system for combustion engines, a valve block and a camshaft or transmission shaft. The deburring tool is moved in a rotational and/or translatory manner and comprises a tool shaft (1), which is provided with a clamping end (2), and a tubular shaft part (5), characterized in that said tubular shaft part holds one or several cutting bodies (11) with a cutting blade (3), the cutting bodies being mounted in a movable manner in a passage (10), and in that a substance that is pressed under pressure into the through-bore (7) of the tool shaft (1) displaces the blade(s) to the exterior. The deburring tool is configured as a single piece and can be produced at low cost. Different blade geometries remove the burr by means of high speed deburring.
