Swivel-Blade Deburring Tool: Roth, 1952

Cutting, punching, sawing and grinding leave burrs on the edges of metal, plastic and pressed wood. A knife or file scrapes them off unevenly, and only in skilled hands. Otto W. Roth of Los Angeles patented a swivel-blade cutting tool in 1952, US 2,598,443. A short hooked blade on a shaft turns freely in a sleeve in the handle, bent at less than a right angle. A rounded head at its tip rides on the face of the work and sets the blade's angle, so as the tool is drawn along an edge or round a punched hole the blade follows it and shaves the burr off evenly.

说明

Handle and sleeve

Bore the handle axially and press in a sleeve or bushing; a pressed-in part of the sleeve bears on the shaft lightly so it does not slip out, and its outer end turns over against the handle's end.

Blade

Form the blade on the shaft's end at an angle of less than 90°, with a knife edge between two flat sides and a rounded head at the tip that overhangs the edge.

Swivel fit

Put a collar on the shaft to bear against the sleeve's end, and insert the shaft so the blade rotates freely. (In the alternative form, a thrust bearing at the base of the bore and a flared bearing sleeve give a smoother swivel, and a cap closes the handle.)
