Pricing and order information

Deburring requires no minimum quantity, and starts as low as $0.40 per part when you order in bulk. Bulk discounts begin when you add at least one identical part. Upload your file to get instant pricing.

Deburring can be added with other finishing processes like powder coating, anodizing, and plating. Additional services beyond deburring can increase processing times. Check out our lead times for more information.

Geometry requirements

  • Minimum material thickness of .048″ or more
  • Intricate, fragile or highly detailed geometry may not be eligible for finishing. We will review these designs on a case-by-case basis.
  • Deburring is NOT available for any mild or high carbon steel products (mild steel, HR, AR500, 4130, 1095, etc).

For small parts:
The minimum part size for linear deburring is 1″ x 3″ for applicable materials. 

For Aluminum 5052/6061, and Titanium, thicknesses less than .125″ require a minimum size of 1″ x 5″.

For applicables materials .125" thick or greater
For large parts: The maximum part size for linear deburring is 24″ x 46″. Overall part size limitations for linear deburring are also listed in our material processing size chart.

If after reading these guidelines you’ve found you need to make some changes to your part design, check out our tutorials for designing and preparing your files in Illustrator, Inkscape, and Autodesk Fusion.

What to expect from finished parts

  • Parts will be free of burr, smooth, and ready to use, but not perfectly cosmetic.
  • Minor imperfections and scratches may be present, especially on the bottom face.
  • Small tabs from the machining process will remain on edges; these cannot be removed by deburring.
  • Some edges will be sharp, while others may have slight rounding.
  • Selecting Unfinished when ordering will provide parts in their “as-cut” state.
  • Finishing services are not cosmetic—perfect brushed patterns, polished surfaces, or aggressive edge softening must be done after delivery.
