J W Done
Tools for tubes
Company Overview
J.W. Done Corporation specializes in providing innovative solutions for a common manufacturing challenge: the deburring of cross-drilled holes. Traditional methods like sandblasting, extrude hone, and manual deburring are often off-line, labor-intensive, and can incur significant costs or require outsourcing. Recognizing these inefficiencies, J.W. Done Corporation developed a unique product to streamline this critical process, aiming to enhance manufacturing efficiency and product quality.
The ORBITOOL Solution
The company's flagship product, ORBITOOL, is presented as the sole deburring tool capable of in-process deburring for cross-drilled holes. Designed for integration into existing machining setups, it operates like any standard cutting tool on a lathe turret or in a milling machine's tool magazine. ORBITOOL precisely removes burrs from the intersection of cross-holes, allowing for a tailored finish ranging from a minimally broken edge to a blended radius. This capability eliminates the need for separate, non-value-added deburring operations, significantly reducing production time and costs.
Implementation and Benefits
J.W. Done Corporation encourages new users to evaluate ORBITOOL on a manual lathe to familiarize themselves with its operation and observe its effectiveness firsthand, offering a satisfaction guarantee. The tool is compatible with various machining environments, including CNC mills, lathes (with or without live tools), transfer machines, and screw machines, with programming macros (e.g., FANUC Macro B) and implementation guides available. ORBITOOL also facilitates manual deburring when mounted in electric hand grinders, though safety guidelines are emphasized. Customer testimonials highlight substantial reductions in deburring time'from 120 hours to 20 hours for 2,000 parts'and improved consistency, replacing complex electrochemical deburring processes with a controlled, efficient system.
Product Range and Availability
ORBITOOL is available in one-hemisphere and two-hemisphere configurations, including the Microtool 18000 Series, with various standard and custom sizes (both imperial and metric). Customers can purchase directly from J.W. Done Co. via phone or through preferred tool suppliers. The company maintains an inventory of standard tools for prompt shipping and accepts major credit cards, with non-standard tools available upon request. This direct and flexible purchasing model ensures accessibility for a broad range of industrial clients.
