Specifications for Edge Breaking

Materials Available for Edge Breaking and Corresponding Edge Break Sizes

  • For sheet metal parts, a double-sided deburring machine is used to break the edges.
  • There is a possibility of minor scratches on appearance surfaces from this process.
  • Please see “About Edge breaking” for more information.
