Any repair or fabrication project involving cutting, drilling or machining metal can produce sharp edges capable of significant injury. Burrs are produced whenever metal is cut but the severity depends largely on the method used. Grinding processes are the worst offender, often producing razor sharp edges capable of deep skin laceration. Machining will produce burrs, but generally cutting metal produces less burrs than grinding.
