Severance also offers an exclusive Grayhone™ finish that provides cutting edges ready to work with no break required. Among the tools offered is a full line of tube deburring tools available in high-speed steel or carbide construction. These tools are designed for light duty, even though they provide a 30° inside chamfer and a 45° outside chamfer. They can simultaneously break the sharp edges of both the inside and outside diameter, and feature tooth geometry with a shearing cutting action for fast cutting that prevents loading of chips. The tools can be reground numerous times for long service and operate in speed ranges of 50-200rpm. The outside ring or member is adjustable, secured by screws, to provide various outside edge break sizes and compensate for different wall thickness within a given tube diameter range. Tube deburring cutters are also available in standard sizes for tubing from 1 / 8 " OD ( 1 / 16 " ID) up to 2 1 / 4 " OD (2" ID). Tube end chamfering mills provide the same shear cutting action and outside ring adjustable as the deburring cutters. They can also be supplied with Chatterless™ angle geometry

and are designed for heavy duty cutting to machine precise, smooth 45° OD and 30° ID chamfers. Chamfering mills are available in sizes for tube and pipe ranging from 3 / 16 " to 2 1 / 2 " OD. The tube end-forming cutters can machine both the inside diameter and outside diameter radius. This establishes a smooth, rounded end that is ideal for applications where tubing may be exposed. A selection of high-speed steel and carbide tools are available in sizes for tubing ranging from 1 / 8 " to 2 1 / 2 " OD. Each OD size is complemented by a range of wall thickness or gauge sizes to accommodate the most popular tubing applications. For all three types of tube end finishing tools, standard sizes are typically shipped with the same-day service. Severance also provides application-specific design and manufacturing services, including custom size, chamfer angles, and forming characteristics. Single cutting action (inside diameter or outside diameter) chamfering tools are also available, and Severance offers a wide range of tool styles and sizes for deburring holes through tube walls.
