The modern aircraft consists of tens/hundreds of thousands of components. A large proportion of these components are manufactured using a machining process. A deburring process must be performed after to machining. This study investigates the effect of changes in the deburring wheel rpm on the deburring force and radius. The deburring wheel is used to trim sharp edges off machined parts of the aircraft. The deburring wheel used consists of a core and a nylon hair(this new concept is protected under patent). We find that higher deburring wheel rpm results in increased deburring force and radius. For deburring wheel rotation rates of 500~750rpm, deburring force of 3.4~6.5kgf and deburring radius of 0.4~0.5mm were observed.
