deburred
Rough edges removed
Deburred describes something that has had its burrs removed—the rough edges, ridges, or raised imperfections left on metal or plastic after cutting, drilling, or machining.
A deburred edge is smooth and safe to handle: The machinist deburred the steel plates before assembly.
The process prevents injuries and ensures parts fit together properly.
