I bought a deburring tool
(http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=13315) and although there's 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. What am I doing wrong? Is a slight residual burr to be expected when using this tool? Should I try a different tool? I can file off burrs well enough but it is time consuming. If it makes any difference the pipe is standard 22mm copper and I am cutting it with a Monument auto wheel cutter like this one http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=12380 Thanks Pete |
