Removing sharp edges on parts not only protects against injury but allows for optimal downstream processing. Filing mechanical or rotary. Today fabricators are becoming increasingly aware that edge deburring makes sheet metal fabrication easier during downstream processing.

This uses specialized deburring tools which are like tiny knives you run along the metal edge. Its no question why sheet metal needs to be deburred.
