Burr-Off ®

The original “Clothes Pin” tool

Cogsdill originated the “Clothes Pin” tool over half a century ago. Often copied but never beaten, Burr-Off is one of the most efficient and economical hole de-burring tools ever made for mass production.

The Burr-Off ® is a simple one-piece construction. Delivering super efficient hole deburring in a wide range of sizes. The Burr-Off operates on the same basic principle as the Burraway ®, but is designed for high-production, automated deburring operations – and primarily for ferrous materials. The open-slot design of the “clothes pin” tool allows chips to clear easily, which makes the tool ideal for automatic equipment and multi-spindle machines. Just like the Burraway, the Burr-Off deburrs the front, back, or both sides of holes in one fast pass.

Ideal for where access is restricted, Burr-Off tools are perfect for interrupted or interference cuts, holes close to shoulders, bosses, back folded sections, multi-layer or multi-sectional parts – pipes, tubes, liners housings, flanges – whether cast, stamped, extruded or machined.

Burr-Off tools CP-04 through -13 are for hole sizes from .062 inch (1.57mm) through .219 inch (5.56mm)and have a single cutting edge. Larger tools feature two cutting edges.

How Burr-Off tools work:

1 Integral cutting edges remove the burr from the front of the hole as the tool enters the hole.
2 The slotted design allows the tool to “collapse” under load as the tool feeds through the workpiece. The crowned and polished top surface of the cutting edges will not mar the inside surface of the hole.
3 The back of the hole is deburred on the return stroke.
