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


I use battery drill/driver with a cone cutter on it. Just apply it to
the end and all comes off zippo. No crimped over copper pipe ends or
burr around.

Go to Screwfix and type "cone" in the search window and then go to
sepcialist drills, a wole raft of them come up.

"Sepcialist drivel and his wole raft" - you have a name, all you need is
the hit song


I've never found it a problem just to use the end of the pipe cutter
designed for this - but drivel claims to use a power drill with a cone
cutter. Somewhat at odds with not wanting to pay the pennies for a proper
plastic pipe cutter and use a hacksaw instead?

FWIW, a cone cutter in a power drill is likely to remove more than just
the burr...
