Handheld Chamfer Tool

1

I could have sworn I saw posts a while back about a handheld chamfer tool someone was using. I searched, but only found MR1 posts and not the one I’m looking for.

It was one like this little guy.

I would guess that using a chamfer tool on plasma cut mild steel parts that have been hardened is less than ideal, but I’m still curious.

Has anyone used something like this on 1/8 or 1/4 inch after cutting with plasma and had any success?

I just finished a part tonight with a 120 grit flap disc and it came out ok, but this looks easier… if it works.

Note: This is not for dross removal, I’m just fine in that area. I’m looking to round edges.

I purchace one last week. It worked fine, but its a very small chamfer. Then it locked up after 20 seconds of use. Need to check into returning it.

Tiny carbide insert. Tiny bearings.

I have one. It’s nice while it works. I have to keep replacing the bearings. If you hit a divit or move into the work to fast, likely will break an insert, and maybe the screw that holds it in place.

Mine is adjustable, and will do a pretty big chamfer as compared to just breaking the edge.

Problem is the hard candy shell that the plasma leaves. Might be too much for the inserts.

I have a decent cut piece at the trailer. I’ll dig it out and give it a run.

I own two of these. Yes, they work. Don’t have high expectations for the results. As stated above, they do make a slight bevel. If you want pretty, then save your $80.

Perhaps something simple like this would be worth considering. It clamps to an angle grinder.

So everyone else is trying to dial in their settings to get rid of a bevel, and you are trying to create a bevel! :wink:
