Technical Information


How does the UBURR work?

  1. Upon insertion, the replaceable and adjustable cutting blade is initially held in the extended position by spring tension, effectively eliminating the burr on the front side of the hole.
  2. As the cutting tool encounters increased feed pressure, surpassing the preset spring tension, the blade automatically retracts while passing through the pilot-hole. The unique geometry of the blade ensures no marring occurs on the inner surface of the pilot-hole.
  3. Upon exiting the pilot-hole, spring tension once again triggers the blade to extend, effectively removing the burr on the back side of the hole during the return stroke.

UBURR Blade recommendations

Blade Removal

  1. Remove the blade: Unlock the screw using a 0.05 inch Allen key with a counterclockwise turn of the locking screw.
  2. Push the blade by hexagon key through.
  3. Pull up the blade from the holder.
Blade Removal Steps

Blade Insertion

  1. Insert the blade into the holder slot.
  2. Push the blade into the tool pocket.
  3. Lock the screw clockwise.

UBURR cutting recommendations

The table below presents cutting recommendations, outlining initial feed rates and cutting speed for materials group based on ISO 513 and VDI 3323 standards.

(1) To ensure optimal performance and tool-life under varying conditions:

Additionally, the operator must ensure the utilization of appropriate coolant media directed to the cutting tip of the blade and right-hand machining (clockwise).

(1) To ensure optimal performance and tool-life under varying conditions:


Machining guidelines

  1. Tool Rotation and Coolant: The UBURR family of tools is suitable for right-hand machining with clockwise tool rotation and should be used with external coolant to flush away chips and swarf from the cutting zone, as shown in Figure 1.
  2. Maximum Slope Angle (α°):
    • For inclined surfaces, as shown in Figure 2, the maximum UBURR operation slope angle depends on the tool-holder diameter. This parameter can be found in the UBURR tool-holders tables parameters under the “Max. Slope Angle” column.
    • For special diameters not listed in the table, please calculate the maximum slope angle using this formula:
    Alpha formula
    • This parameter can be found in the UBURR tool-holders tables parameters under the “Ød range for pilot hole” column with the “min.” value to be considered for “d” in the formula above.
    • For Tubes, as illustrated in Figure 3, it is important to ensure the tool diameter is appropriate for the application according to this formula:

Using the UUBURR with Electric Hand Drills

UBURR is compatible with both CNC machines and electric hand drills, making it suitable for various operational setups and maximizing the manufacturing process.


Programming guidelines

Performing front and back deburring

You can utilize our parametric post routine for milling machines or turning machines to be inserted after each drilling operation:

Front and Back Deburring Steps
Front and Back Deburring Steps

Performing back deburring:

This case involves a different procedure when front deburring is unnecessary.

In such cases, the tool-holder enters the hole without rotating and begins the linear feed only after passing through the pilot hole. Once the tool has passed through the pilot hole, it retracts to execute the back deburring operation.

Performing back deburring process

For performing back deburring, you can also utilize our parametric post for milling machines or turning machines to be inserted after each drilling operation with the same parameters:

  • #101-TOOL LOCATION START
  • #102-S-CUTTING SPEED, ACCORDING TO CUTTING RECOMMENDATIONS
  • #103-H1-PILOT HOLE LENGTH
  • #105-LTB2, ACCORDING TO ITEM TABLE LIST
  • #106-RAPID LINEAR FEED FOR POSITION THE TOOL
  • #107-WORKING CYCLE FEED, ACCORDING TO CUTTING RECOMMENDATIONS

Performing Deburring by Interpolation

UBURR can perform deburring through interpolation, which not only saves on extra tooling costs but also streamlines the production process by integrating multiple functions into one tool.

Configuring UBACK tool-holders for different cooling systems

UBACK tool-holders are designed for controlling insert retraction using emulsion, air, or Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) coolant systems. When using air or MQL, seal the tool-holder’s coolant inlet with the supplied BR05006 - M5 x 6 mm set screw.
