ok, a prime example Andy. They drill a hole or machine a hole on a machined face on a component. Their first action to take the burr from the edge is to use a hand grinder (electric) The workers dont even think about it, dont hesitate, they fire it up and ruin the machined face. Either that or they get a drill to remove the burr and countersink the bloody hole so deep, so I reject all like this. When I was on the shop floor, we used a small hand tool for deburring, like a handle that had a metal shaft coming out of it with a rotating 'crook' end to it which you could whip around a hole to remove the burr, leaving a nice smooth finish. Easy. If the company here (chinese) bought say a thousand of these tools for next to nothing, they could save literally millions on repair, re-work or scrapped compponents.
BUT..... who am I to tell them this?? If they start doing it right every time my work will end and then I will be looking for more work
