Deburring copper pipe

Send it back and order the cone cutter. You're like a broken record. ** snip Matt making things up ** |

Yes Could you utilise a round file instead .. Could do, but it is more time consuming and I have got a lot to do. http://www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=32484 or cheaper on eBay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tem=7594342357 They are listed as router bits - could I use them in a drill? I liked the ebay item - the top line of "See more great items from this seller" shows three deburring tools and a packet of condoms :-) |

I;m not sure that a drill would be very easy to handle in that sort of application though - my router has a removeable motor so I can use it as a die grinder. I liked the ebay item - the top line of "See more great items from this seller" shows three deburring tools and a packet of condoms :-) It's very important to take precautions when using this sort of tool :-) |

Bought the Screwfix equivalent, it is much better than the original tool I had, very easy to use and does what I want. Thanks for the pointer Andy. |
