We are very excited to announce that David Edge has joined the Next Generation Tooling team. David has a wealth of experience from his 45+ years in the metalcutting industry.  He not only knows the technical aspects of cutting tool applications but also the procedural functions that are important to manufacturers, Industrial distributors and machinery dealers.

David began his career in 1972 as a manufacturing engineer in turning applications, with Pneumatic Auto Turret lathes, Tracer lathes and manual Turret lathes.  He cut his teeth in sales for 11 years as a cutting tool specialist for Valenite in the Bay area.

He moved north to work for RTW and Iscar where he managed
Washington, Oregon and Western Canada for the many aerospace applciations in that area. In 2012 he moved back to the Bay area to manage Northern California for Tungaloy. 

David also brings first hand experience as a distributor from his time at J&L Industrial Supply and Aronson-Campbell Industrial Supply as a carbide application engineer.  He has a deep understanding of what the expectations are of a industrial distributor from a manufacturer.  

David also has an inside knowledge of the expectations of a machine tool dealer from his time back in the late 1980's working at Selway Machine Tools. 
David Edge Helen
David and Helen live in Pleasanton,  CA.

He has three children and four grandchildren.

In his spare time he enjoys martial arts, cycling and target shooting.

What kind of burr can the sPINner magnetic deburring remove?

6/12/2014

0 Comments

 
What kind of burr can the sPINner remove?
We are often asked, “What kind of burr will the sPINner remove?” The standard answer is “a light burr”. This answer leaves a lot of room for interpretation. What is a light burr to some will be a heavy burr to others.

The rule of “Thumb”:
In order to form an initial evaluation if the sPINner will work on a particular part try the rule of “thumb”. As a general rule, if you can take a fingernail and remove the burr, the part has a good chance of testing well in the sPINner. Burrs heavier than this may tend to roll and flatten, but not be removed during the process. 

A quick lesson on burrs:
Picture
To the left is a drawing of a cross-section of a burr on a part. 


From the drawing you can see some main areas we will be concerned with; the part itself (parent metal), the burr thickness at root, burr thickness, and burr height. 
Light Burrs
A lighter burr can be loosely defined as a burr with a thin thickness at root (B1). As the amount of material holding the burr to the parent metal increases, a more aggressive deburring action is required to remove the burr. Using this definition it is possible to have burrs that are tall, yet are “lighter” by our definition because the thickness at the root is small. Burrs of this type are good candidates for the sPINner. 

Short Heavy Burrs
An example of short, yet heavy burrs are the ridges created from drilling. When a drill breaks through a part a ridge is pushed up around the hole on the side where the drill breaks through. While this ridge can be short in burr height (H0), the thickness at burr root is wide. Often this material is more a part of the parent metal than the burr. These burrs will not be good candidates for the sPINner as a very aggressive and abrasive action that has a high stock removal rate is required to remove these burrs.

Brittle Materials
Another factor to weigh in this process is the material itself. More brittle materials will tend to have the burr break away from the part (parent metal) making the sPINner a good option.

Softer Materials
Softer or more malleable material will tend to have the burr roll and flatten. Softer materials need to have a thinner thickness at root to be good candidates for the sPINner.
