Good morning. I'm wondering if any of you can give some advise to deburr internal threads that have been drilled through. In the case I'm talking about, we have to drill and tap through the sides of nuts, and then they need to screw on the pins, but the burr from the drill and tap is hard to remove efficiently. Any tips?
It's a 1.5"-6 nut with 3/8-16 holes through the sides.
We do these alot.

Sounds ugly. Just hold them in your hand and run a tap through!

A customer wanted some SS pipes about 1.25 ID with a bunch of holes cross drilled through. Of course he wanted them cheap. We said no thanks, too many burrs. He said just hold the pipe in your hands and run a 1.25 reamer through. Easy, peasy. But still no thanks!

Well, I would assume he would place the nut in a vise and start the tap and run it thru using a crescent wrench! 😏 Or do I have to go and hold his hand and do it for him?

That was my sorry attempt at humor. I know you didn't mean for him to hold the nut in his hand.
