Question 1

What is deburring, and why does my part need it?

Accepted Answer

Deburring removes the sharp edges and raised material left by machining, stamping, or cutting. Burrs cause stress fractures, become FOD inside fluid systems, and ruin coatings. It's the final step that turns a machined part into one that's ready to fly.

Question 2

What kinds of parts do you specialize in?

Accepted Answer

Complex geometry — manifolds, valve bodies, hydraulic fittings, and anything with cross-drilled or intersecting bores. Built for parts where burrs hide inside and tolerances are tight. Aerospace and medical mainly.

Question 3

What materials can you deburr?

Accepted Answer

Stainless, aluminum, titanium, Inconel, brass, copper, Invar, carbon steel — plus most plastics. We match the technique to the material so dimensions stay exact.

Question 4

Can you hold tight tolerances on critical parts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We remove the burr only. Surrounding edges stay exactly as drawn — we don't round what should stay sharp.

Question 5

Can you handle cross-drilled holes and internal passages?

Accepted Answer

It's our specialty. Intersections where bores meet are where most shops miss burrs that turn into FOD. We use microscope inspection and the right tooling to clean every one.

Question 6

Do you handle prototypes and production runs?

Accepted Answer

Both — one-off prototypes to thousands per batch. The process scales to match the volume.

Question 7

What's your typical turnaround?

Accepted Answer

Quotes back within one business day. Most jobs run 3–5 business days. Faster if your timeline calls for it.

Question 8

How do you ensure quality?

Accepted Answer

Every lot receives a final inspection before delivery, with critical features verified under magnification and documented sign-off on every batch.

Question 9

Do you offer pickup and delivery?

Accepted Answer

Local pickup and delivery for regular customers in LA and the San Fernando Valley. Standard freight everywhere else — pickup arranged for larger jobs.

Question 10

What do you need to send a quote?

Accepted Answer

A drawing or photo, an approximate quantity, and any spec callouts. Quote back within one business day.

Question 11

Where is SC Precision Deburring located?

Accepted Answer

Pacoima, California — 12734 Branford Street, Unit 17, in the San Fernando Valley. We serve all of Southern California: Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, San Bernardino, Riverside, and San Diego counties.

Question 12

Are you ISO 9001 or AS9100 certified?

Accepted Answer

We're not currently ISO 9001 or AS9100 certified. We run a documented, repeatable quality process: final inspection of every lot, critical features verified under magnification, and written sign-off on every batch.

Question 13

What is microscope deburring?

Accepted Answer

Deburring performed under magnification — typically 10x to 40x — for parts where burrs hide inside cross-drilled holes, internal passages, or tight features the naked eye can't catch. Standard for aerospace manifolds, valve bodies, and high-tolerance medical devices.

Question 14

Do you work with aerospace, defense, and medical OEMs?

Accepted Answer

Our customers are precision machine shops, and what comes off their CNC machines goes into aerospace, defense, medical and industrial programs. We deburr to the print — the end market is our customer's to know. If it was machined, we can finish it. Much of our work ships into our customers' AS9100-controlled supply chains; we are not ourselves certified.

Question 15

How much does deburring cost?

Accepted Answer

Depends on part complexity, material, and quantity — but quotes come back within one business day, free, with no minimum order. Small simple batches start at a few dollars per part; complex aerospace work prices per print and spec callout.
