Claims
- 1. An edge-finishing device suitable for a right-angled edges of a workpiece, comprising a tip for reciprocation against the edge, the tip having a notch with outer flank surfaces which are at an obtuse angle to one another and serve to guide the tip initially onto the workpiece edge, the notch having inner flank surfaces which are at an obtuse angle to one another and serve to beat a burr or other protrusion thin enough to be broken or driven off from the edge and the base of the notch having a curved surface which, in use, determines the finish given to the edge of the workpiece.
- 2. An edge-finishing device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the base of the notch has a curved surface which, in use, determines the finish given to the edge of the workpiece.
- 3. A method of finishing a right-angled edge of a workpiece, comprising reciprocating against the edge of a tip of an edge-finishing device, the tip having a notch, the base of the notch having a curved surface which determined the edge finish and flank faces which are at an obtuse angle to one another for guiding the tip onto the workpiece edge, the tip beating a burr or other protrusion on the workpiece edge thin enough that it is broken or driven off the edge, and the base of the notch thereafter impacting against the edge until the finish given to the edge of the workpiece conforms to the curved surface of the base of the notch.
- 4. A method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the flank faces each comprise an outer flank surface for guiding the tip onto the workpiece edge and an inner flank surface, at least one of the inner flank surfaces beating the burr or other protrusion.
