Tool for deburring large conduit?

[Innovate1]

I have a tool like this for smaller stuff.

But have some larger stuff to work with that is too big for above. A box knife around the inside will work but not well. Is the tool linked below what most people use on larger pipe/conduit? I am using PVC conduit.

I use one of those for deburring a range of things. Should work good for large conduit.

Just use a deburring tool. I use the steel handled ones from Grainger.

I don't know what your cutting it with, but you shouldn't have many burs on PVC. Usually just running your finger around it is all you need

All's good until you cut your finger wide open. I use a dull knife or a coarse file.

DWV for me is primarily no-hub. I will use pvc for vent tie ins.

Deburring tool on the inside easy. I've always looked at the specialty tools that supposedly put a -proper exterior chamfer- on the outside for proper glue-ps

Never had that happen on PVC, usually have gloves on anyway. Guess Im lucky

Yes, I am looking for some sort of tool for deburring. I have no idea what type of tool you are thinking of from Grainger...

I have a knife blade type cutter for up to 2". But it leaves a sharp edge - not really a burr but most tools I have seen are called deburring tools - just want to chamfer the edge a bit so there is no edge to catch on insulation. The effect may be minor but I have a long run.

Have used the swinging blade tool to deburr aluminum holes at work some years ago. Worked well so will pick one up and see how it works. I will have other uses for it too.

To deburr the inside of conduits/pipes I’ve been using a standard metal deburring tool, like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001O62V56/?tag=atomicindus08-20

You run the blade on the surface/edge you want to deburr.

In large enough PVC why not just use some sandpaper?

 

[mobiledynamics]

Going to have be some uber extra super gritty coarse sandpaper to make deburr either the inside or outside on schedule 40 or 15....

I do this for a living. I almost never wear gloves, and never been cut.

I also use my hand. There shouldn't be much of any burs.

I've also used a sawzall blade.

I did this for a living....for more than 45 years.
I learned the hard way....by getting cut.

Just saying, if you are cutting PVC and creating a burr sharp enough to cut you, you are doing something wrong. You are either making a jagged edge on it or possibly using a dull blade and burning it which might make a sharp edge. I use a pvc cutter up to 1 1/4 , bigger than that, a hack saw or saw all with a fine blade

I have Ridgid like PBCambell links to. They work good. I also use the pen style in op post and Ridgid version of op's Rothenberger, along some others that have collected over the years.

I cut my index finger on a piece of 1"PVC, cut with a PVC cutter.

 

[Jim greengo]

For pvc I just run my finger around it slow.
For emt I just shove my wire strippers in there.
For rigid a rat tail file or dremel works good.
For copper I use a reamer.

This is a nice tool for general tube deburring. Will also work on metal.

My personal choice is an older model of this tool. The half round fine tooth wood rasp will easily deburr ID and chamfer OD.

I also used a deburring tool. Though faced few problems but now its absolutely alright.

 

[redidbull]

I like this one. Jim https://www.amazon.com/SHAVIV-Classic-Deburring-Aluminum-Handle/dp/B003JY7MDM?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_12

Deburring tool for the inside, Channellocks for the outside.

and?

if you really need to "de-burr" pvc, then this is the fastest and bet method.

 

[u2slow]

A coarse, half-round file is my tool of choice. Lives in my toolbag.

I picked up the tool in my original post and very similar to what MJO posted. Works well and is quick. Using it on PVC but could also be used on metal I think.

They work great for emt to.

I haven't a clue where I saw it (may have been this old house or on YouTube) but it was an attachment you put in a drill and it would debur PVC.

 

[stokefire7]

I use several things. grinder, Nicholson pipeliner, Ridgid cone reamer. Always carrying the Reed DEBO, I can do outside with it.

 

[nadogail]

We used a cone reamer in a Brace (as in Brace & Bit)

With PVC you would not need the brace but the backside of a Sawzall blade works too and no need to reinvent the wheel either, l carry a Imperial Eastman reamer that I can use on up to 1 1/2” pipe but works best for 1” & smaller pipe.
