Grinding and deburring service

A key part of the metal fabrication process, grinding and deburring are techniques used to remove any raised or sharp edges (burrs) on the surface of a machined component.

With a wealth of hands-on experience, our trained operatives can eliminate unwanted burrs and defects to deliver a professional and consistent finish that meets your requirements.

Once your fabricated part has been deburred, we can even arrange for it to undergo additional specialist finishing treatments such as powder coating, electroplating and galvanising if required.

To find out more about our grinding and deburring services or to discuss what we can do for you, speak to our friendly team today. We provide a range of metal fabrication and finishing services to businesses both locally in West Wiltshire and throughout the UK.

What are the benefits of deburring?

Deburring plays a vital role in the manufacturing process as any raised or sharp edges can compromise the quality, durability and even safety of a fabricated part. Some of the main advantages of deburring include:

Improved user safety

Sharp or rough edges can cut or injure those handling the part. In some applications, for example, surgical equipment, such imperfections can even be life-threatening. Deburring reduces the risk of injury by smoothing out these potentially dangerous defects.

Easier assembly

Deburring ensures metal components are more uniform and will fit together more effectively, thereby reducing assembly time.

Improved performance

Burrs can increase stress and strain in the affected areas, which can lead to material failure. Raised sharp ridges are also more susceptible to corrosion. Eliminating these unwanted pieces of material can therefore make a metal part stronger and more durable.

Enhanced aesthetics

Removing unsightly ridges and rough patches can improve a part’s appearance and increase its aesthetic appeal.

Promotes adhesion of additional finishes

Deburring can aid the adhesion of additional treatments such as powder coating, thus improving the final finish.
