I bought a deburring tool

only one way it can work - shove it in the pipe, turn - I'm not
getting
satisfactory results. The tool does shave off copper, but there is
still a
burr. If I continue until there is no burr, I've removed so much
copper that
the wall at the cut end of the pipe now tapers from the inside out and
is
very thin. In other words the tool removes the 'good' wall of the pipe
as
well as the burr.

I've never de-burred pipe after using a wheel cutter. No leaks yet...

Don't worry - someone will be along shortly to tell you that your house
is a ticking time bomb and that you'll have leaks everywhere within weeks


Probably Drivel with his hacksaw ;-)

i think the point of deburring is also to remove loose material which would
overwise go along the pipe until it collects in an appliance
personally i just use a dremel to deburr it
