A lead guy watched me deburr one part and said 45 seconds was too long per hole
I was running a batch of 300 aluminum brackets on the mill last Tuesday and doing my usual deburr pass at the bench. The lead operator came over, watched two holes, and said I was spending about 45 seconds per part when the burr only needed a light hit. He showed me how to hit it with a 3-flute chamfer tool right in the spindle before the part ever came off the table. Cut my cycle time by almost 90 seconds per part and saved me a whole afternoon of bench work. I have been doing it that way for two weeks now and my parts still pass inspection fine. Has anyone else had a lead or a coworker point out a habit that was eating up way more time than it needed?

Man, that 3-flute trick is slick, did the lead show you how to keep the chamfer from washing out the hole size on the tighter tolerance ones? I'd be worried about blowing a dimension on something that gets checked with a pin gauge.
