When choosing the right attachment to go on top, the main thing to consider is the nature of the job you are undertaking, and whether you are working with wood, metal, plastic, or some other material.

For an even smoother finish, you could use sandpaper to go over the edge to make it pristine, or if you are satisfied, turn off the tool, dismantle it, and place it back in the box.

Fast moving machinery can facilitate any number of unforeseen consequences, so it is best to give you and your digits a fighting chance.

Chamfering tools can also be used to ease assembly, to make it simpler to put bolts into holes on the material you are working with.

When doing small or precise jobs, a static, hand held chamfer tool is best, whilst a powered tool is better for the larger jobs.

Deburring is a process where a rotational head peels off layers of the wood, metal, or plastic of the surface you are working on, for a smoother edge.

Whilst the ways and means of securing your attachment will depend on the model, the best way to be sure is to check your instruction manual.

RedLine Engraving tools are designed to give a clean cut when marking or engraving on your parts. Tools diameters range from 1/8” up to ½”. We offer a wide variety of point geometries from 30 degrees up to 120 degrees and they are available in Uncoated or ALTiN Coated to fit your engraving application. Generally speaking when choosing an engraving cutter the lower the included angle the more fragile the tool will be and the same goes for the point the smaller the tip diameter the more delicate the tool but on the other end of the spectrum the larger the included angle and the tip diameter the stronger the cutter. The smaller included angle tools will have a higher clearance angle that is effective in clearing chips when used in soft materials the larger angle tools will have less clearance angle and more stability for cutting harder materials. All RedLine Tools engraving tools are proudly made in the USA.

Gloves can also be useful to protect your hands and fingers, both from the above mentioned debris, as well as from injury whilst using the tool.

Wearing goggles will ensure you protect your eyes, and make sure you don’t need any irritating, unexpected trips to the emergency room.

As with any form of electrical tool, or indeed static tool, ensuring your own safety and the safety of those around you should be the top priority.

It is also recommended to start it at a lower setting, especially if you are not used to handling the tool, or if you are under confident.

Also known as a “deburring tool” or a chamfer mill, a chamfer tool is used for creating a rounded edge on otherwise rough surfaces.

You can however, also use a chamfer to remove sharp edges on the surface to reduce the possibility of injuries when handling the piece.

This not only ensures the best results, but will make the whole process simpler and more rewarding. You have to respect the tools that you are working with.

Usually created at a 45 degree angle, a chamfer is a common design in architecture, engineering, machining operations, carpentry, furniture making, concrete formwork, and mirror design, as well as a way of aiding the assembly of mechanical engineering designs.

Place the chamfer tool against the edge, keeping a steady hand and pressing down lightly as you move it slowly along the surface.

Chamfering tools are therefore often used on metals such as steel and aluminum, and can also be crucial when working with PVC piping.

Whilst being one of the less known tools on the market, the chamfer tool has many interesting uses in the world of construction and home improvement.

In the architecture world, a chamfer is a transitional edge between two faces of a specific object – for example, the point where two faces of a cube touch.

As there are several different attachments you can put on your chamfer tool, it is important to choose the correct one for the job at hand.

A face mask should also be considered, as this can stop any small particles of wood, metal, or plastic from entering your nose and mouth when you breathe in.

You do not need to press down on the materials with any force, as the motion of the tool itself is more than capable of doing the job.

The best way to know which one to use is to consult the instruction manual that came with the tool, as this will point you in the right direction.

Such deburring tools are often battery powered, and screwdriver-like in shape, with a series of attachable heads for different patterns and purposes, such as metalwork, woodwork, and deburring plastic.

A chamfering tool is typically used when a workpiece has a particularly rough edge. These are similar to deburring tools, and are often referred to as chamber mills, or chamfers.

Larger, heavier items may remain still on their own, such as a wardrobe, however smaller items (like a wooden box) will need to be secured firmly to stop them moving.

They are widely used tools with multiple uses that remove flashing and other edge properties caused by cutting or machining operations.

These chamfering tools or burrs will remove sharp edges from a range of materials to give you a clean cut corner or smooth edges.
