Abstract: An apparatus for cutting, deburring, deflashing and removing material from a workpiece includes a housing mounted to a robot, a collet coupled to the housing, a shaft disposed in the housing and coupled to the collet such that a rotation of the shaft results in a rotation of the collet, wherein the shaft is selectively toggled between a locked position and an unlocked position, and a blade holder disposed in the collet and including a blade coupled thereto, wherein a freedom of movement of the blade is determined based on a position of the shaft.
