External Thread Deburring Chamfer Tool?

[mike_aa]

While on google I came across this thread deburring tool from our Aussie friends.  It looks like an easy way to dress the end of a threaded rod or bolt after cutting to size, although it would be nice if one was available to fit diameters smaller than 10mm.  I've seen something similar from China on eBay for cheap, but so far nothing of quality.

Does anyone know more about these and how well they work?  Is there one like it that will fit a wider diameter range?

Thanks, Mike A.

It reminds me of the pvc pipe deburring tools that are sold.

Here’s one that goes from #8 to 3/4”.

I do a lot of bolt shortening and threaded rod cutting and have been beveling the rod/bolt end with a cordless RA grinder and a flap wheel. That heliburr looks interesting.

No, Thank You Mike... [big grin]  I’m going to order a Heliburr and try it out. They advertise that it can be used on stainless also.  [cool]

I just finished up a project where I had to shorten 30 each stainless eye bolts in both 5/16-18 & 3/8-16 thread. This tool would have been perfect.

Here's another option for thread restoring, particularly down the full length of the bolt.  The original one I have was my grandfathers, but they still make them and I've purchased one of the new ones which work equally well for restoring damaged threads across a range of sizes, both coarse and fine.

I think I saw R&R Buildings demoing something similar to the Aussie tool above, which is slightly different in purpose but seems to do a good job.

Yeah, that looks handy.  Be sure to post on how well it works.

I wanted to purchase a Uniburr, made in the USA from hardened tool steel. I emailed them 2 times, called 2 different phone numbers (each have been disconnected) and then went down their dealer list to contact the dealers. Long story short, after reading some reviews on Amazon and realizing that Uniburr may no longer be in business I decided to move on. It certainly is a nice looking piece of tooling though.

I decided to move on to Heliburr which appeared to be a Uniburr but with the "Uni" photoshopped off of the Heliburr product photo.  [eek] I just assumed the Heliburr product was made for them by Uniburr.

After 3 emails to Black Top Deals inquiring when the Heliburr would arrive, 1 month later I received a small package from YWKJ, in Jinhua Zhejiang China. CHINA... [eek]...that's curious?
Upon opening the Heliburr, it certainly didn't look like what I had ordered.  [sad]

Well I had just shortened some 5/16-18 stainless steel carriage bolts so I figured I'd give it a try. Much to my surprise it works extremely well. Slow speed only, maybe 50 rpm and 5-10 revolutions later you're done.  It does a nice job of chamfering each bolt and a nut will spin on by hand.
I don't know how long it will last because I'm sure it's not tool steel and once the coating is worn through it'll be toast.
Here's some photos, pretty self explanatory.
