As-Machined & Deburring Services
As-Machined & Deburring Services
Keep the machined finish. Define the edges.
Choose an as-machined surface when functional geometry matters more than a decorative finish. Mark burr-sensitive areas, sharp edges to retain and any required edge break so finishing supports assembly without changing critical features.
Confidential files. Optional NDA available.
Functional components where machining marks are acceptable and edge condition can be specified directly.
Deburred does not mean every edge is rounded or every internal intersection is accessible. Define the acceptance condition.
What this process does
As-machined parts retain the surface produced by machining. Deburring addresses unwanted material at edges and intersections; it is separate from applying a uniform chamfer, polishing the surface or adding corrosion protection.
Choose the route from your requirements.
Use these points to prepare an enquiry. The selected process, material compatibility and acceptance criteria should be confirmed for your drawing.
On smaller screens, scroll the table horizontally.
| Your requirement | What to specify | What to review |
|---|---|---|
| External edges | Define allowable edge condition. | Distinguish burr removal from a dimensioned chamfer. |
| Internal intersections | Identify cross-holes and hidden features. | Review access and verification of burr removal. |
| Sharp functional edges | Mark cutting, locating or sealing edges. | Protect them from unintended rounding. |
| Uncoated material | Describe storage and service exposure. | Agree any separate protection and packaging requirement. |

Protect the features that make the part work.
Mark the surfaces that carry function, fit and appearance. A clear drawing helps separate essential requirements from unnecessary processing.
Internal burrs
A general drawing note may not address inaccessible features. Identify intersections that could release particles or interfere with flow.
Edge dimensions
Removing a burr and adding an edge break are different requirements. State limits when edge geometry matters.
Delivered condition
Specify chip removal, residue limits and packaging. An as-machined surface alone says little about cleanliness.
Agree the evidence before production.
Inspection should answer the requirements on your order. Define the method and acceptance criteria when a characteristic is important to the application.
- Burr-sensitive features inspected by agreed method
- Specified edge breaks checked
- Sharp edges retained where required
- Chips, residues and packaging reviewed
Testing and documentation are confirmed in the quotation. A finish name or reference image does not establish certification, performance or compliance.
From drawing to an agreed finish.
Send the part context
Share the drawing, material, quantity and operating environment. Identify cosmetic and functional surfaces.
Review the process
Resolve preparation, access, masking and the sequence with machining or other finishing operations.
Confirm acceptance
Agree samples, measurements and documentation. Record the approved drawing revision and open requirements.
Release the order
Confirm the quoted route, schedule and packing requirements before work starts.
Does deburring include chamfering every edge?
No. Deburring removes unwanted edge material. A chamfer is a defined feature; show its size and location when required, and identify edges that must remain sharp.
What should I send for a quotation?
Send the drawing revision, material grade, quantity and burr-sensitive edges and intersecting holes, edges that must remain sharp. Mark the required surfaces and any acceptance tests. Include your target date and shipping destination.
Can I send parts that are already manufactured?
State that the parts are customer-supplied and include their current condition, existing coatings and dimensions. Acceptance, incoming inspection and the finishing route need confirmation before shipment.
Can you provide a specific inspection report?
List the required characteristics, test methods, sample quantity and report format with the enquiry. The quotation should confirm the agreed inspection scope; additional tests are not implied by the service name.
What affects price and lead time?
Part size, quantity, incoming condition, preparation, masking, finish requirements and inspection scope all affect the route. Share the complete specification so cost and schedule can be confirmed for the order.
