What happens here

Beyond pipes, the deburring tool is also effective for refining the edges of molded plastic parts. The video illustrates this by using the tool to scrape away excess plastic or 'flash' from a circular opening in a clear plastic component. The sharp, curved blade of the pencil reamer makes it easy to remove unwanted plastic, resulting in a smooth and clean edge. This application is useful for improving the aesthetic finish of plastic parts or ensuring they fit correctly with other components by removing minor imperfections.

Goal: Demonstrate using the deburring tool to clean up excess material or flash from molded plastic components.

Bam. That's one cut around and you've already made this awesome smooth pipe. Didn't have a countersink bit, you could take your pencil reamer and you could actually counter sync with it. This has come in so handy for odd little jobs. I know it's a specialty tool, but I keep finding uses for it. You guys use these things for anything else?
