Cross Hole & Hole Deburring for after drilling

Xebec brushes use unique abrasive ceramic fibre material instead of abrasive grains. The content ratio of ceramic fibres is an impressive 80% giving exceptional grinding power with a consistent cutting performance throughout the life of the brush. This is a real advantage compared to abrasive impregnated nylon brushes, where performance drops off over time, resulting in increased process times and mush higher frequency of brush replacement.

The Xebec products also maintain their shape for their full working life unlike other deburring materials that deform quickly; this improves the consistency of finish and eases management of them as a consumable on a mass production line.

deburring brush crosshole sizes

XEBEC Brush™ Crosshole Extra Large

Extra Large size available to automate deburring of the inner diameter from φ20mm to φ35mm. High grinding power on the tip of the bristle as the bristle tips flare out when rotated due to centrifugal force and act on inner diameter. Used for removing burrs on a cross hole, removal of oxide layer, chips and foreign objects from the bottom of a hole and to polish the inner diameter.

Hole Deburring Usage and Tips with the XEBEC Brush™ Crosshole

Refer to the chart and select Brush colour based on the workpiece material and burr root thickness.

  1. Insert the Brush while not in motion. * If you rotate the Brush outside the cylinder, the bristles may be damaged or scattered and may cause injury to an operator.
  2. Rotate the tool past the crosshole Consistent edge quality can be obtained by rotating the tool in both CW and CCW direction.
  3. Process while pulling the Brush back. Pulling the Brush back past the crossholes prevents burrs from being laid flat against the interior surface of the cylinder.
  4. Process while pushing the Brush forward.
  5. Stop the Brush rotation.
  6. Remove the Brush while it is at rest.

* XEBEC Brush has high grinding power on the tip. The Brush tip needs to be in contact with the processing area.

Processing conditions: Rotational speed

Recommended rotational speed is different depending on Brush diameter. See the diagrams below.

hole deburring recommended rotational speed when worn down Rotational speed when the Brush is worn down 10mm

If burrs remain

  1. Increase rotational speed to the maximum in increments of 1000 min-1
  2. Increase the number of passes

If the workpiece cannot be deburred even by the above-mentioned procedures, the machining condition may be incorrect or the burr size is too large. Change the Brush with higher grinding power. The grinding power of the Brush : Blue> Red

To extend tool life, decrease the rotational speed in 10% increments or increase the feed rate in 10% increments

* Tool life significantly varies depending on processing conditions, burr conditions (size and direction) and workpiece material.
