To remove rough edges or small pieces of metal that stick out from a worked surface.
Formed from the prefix 'de-' (to remove) plus 'burr' (a rough edge or ridge). Burrs are created when metal is cut, machined, or filed, and deburring is essential in manufacturing.
Deburring is so crucial in aerospace and medical manufacturing that a single missed burr can cause catastrophic failure—it's a boring task that prevents disaster.
