Return baskets.
Get bags.

>>1150095

And?

>>1150095
10,000 USD? for baskets?

>>1150095
Scraped.
The parts are scraped, acquiring a scrape and are then considered scrap.

Otherwise, too little information to respond very much to this statement.
Return the equipment/get compensation from manufacturer/installer or get your boss or foreman to do that.

Or

Spend time with some files to work down burrs or sharp edges. Repaint painted surfaces if you damage them.

Or

Go to the same manufacturer as the baskets and see if they have some kind of plastic or padded inner liner item sized for what they have already sold you.

China?

Hello. Op here. We have already scrapped $10k in baskets. I am filing them down with a file now and I have done the math it will take over 100 hours. Plastic can not be used because the baskets and parts go in oven. Baskets are made out of stainless steel

>>1150111
USA

>>1150119are they chrome coated or just stainless? You should sandblast first then go through finishing with a file

>>1150125
They are 100% stainless steel. Is there a specific tool you would recommend?

>>1150119
Should really go back to the manufacturer and get compensation worked out. Surely there was something in the deal for what look like custom parts baskets that they would be made correctly and to standards.

>>1150126
what temperature does the oven go to? you can try some kind of spray on teflon coating

>>1150130
or silicone. Again, depending on the oven.

>>1150132
Great idea. I'll look into it. I can talk to my boss at lunch today.

>>1150136
You're not the boss? Your labor is going to be the cheapest tool then.

Update. Engineer have me tool. Waiting on dremel

>>1150138
Not only am I not the boss.... I'm technically a temp...

>>1150136
expanding on that silicone idea you can try spreading some high temperature caulk on the spots that have burrs if you're unable to smooth them out.

>>1150108
Yes!

>>1150141
From my experience as a temp, not being used to a workplace's compromises gives you quite a valuable objective opinion.

Can someone make an oven joke? Nothing comes to mind.

can't you get them all sandblasted pretty quickly?

He puts (((baskets))) into the ovens every day.

>>1150095
>factory could fix all the baskets at once with vibratory polishing
>instead they make the apprentice deburr each basket individually with hand tools

>>1150355
The part is for the medical field

>>1150354
Yes! I'm looking into that

>>1150393
Baskets are too big for the local shops and the ones that had been shipped out came back broken

You my friend have the same exact problem as the current Nintendo Switch charging dock. Im certain we can solve this here, we helped the guys on the Panama Canal last year.

This looks like a job for a Dynafile and a Scotch-Brite belt. Or more specifically, a Dynafile II with 11202 or 11204 contact arm and 1/4" or 1/2" x18" red (medium) Scotch-Brite belts. That will do a faster, better job than a manual file or Dremel.

But it sounds like this would just be a back-end fix for a problem that never should have gotten to you. The order should have specified surface finish. The baskets should have been inspected when your company got them and then rejected, triggering some penalty/replacement clause in the order contract. Failing that, someone knowledgeable about metalworking and what the baskets need to do should have devised a practical way to salvage the baskets, as opposed to scrapping some and having a temp go at others with a HAND FILE. That it's come to this bodes ill for the project and the company in general.

Guys! Guys! Am i an idiot for thinking you can just tuck Heatshrink over each of those?

>>1150539
Apparently they're getting baked in an oven at an unspecified temperature. So it probably wouldn't handle the heat, but OP hasn't answered the question about how hot it gets.

>>1150542
Op here. Boss won't tell me.

>>1150516
Op here. Tool is to wide

The belts I mentioned are 1/4" and 1/2" wide and about 1/8" thick. The arms I mentioned are good for getting into tight spots. The gaps in the image here >>1150119 look at least 3/8", which is plenty for the setups I described.

Deburring tool retard fag. Used to make pvc fittings and shit... listen to me f a g

>>1150119
<plastic and parts go in oven>

U tryhard faggot i worked at Spears MFG in Caney also. Its called polyvinyl chloride not plastic ya cuck

The deburring tool (Google "Shaviv" ) is a fine idea and makes short work of deburring. You can get a variety of tips and they are inexpensive, so look at tips vs the contours you are doing.

You should look into flap abrasive wheels (not Dremel stones) bought in bulk. A pneumatic die grinder is best for driving them at speed.

Given the value involved, shipping is cheap. I really recommend consulting a professional outfit like this example:

Sandblasting with grit would make the whole basket scratch its contents. You need a different result, so get with the pros.

Solving the problem will make you a hero. I use the fuck out of the internet on the job and usually have the bosses asking me to spend time on da web hunting answers for them.

That's for deburring cut edges. OP's problem is roughness on formed wires, which may or may not technically be a "burr" depending on how it got there. That kind of deburring tool wouldn't help.

>You should look into flap abrasive wheels (not Dremel stones) bought in bulk. A pneumatic die grinder is best for driving them at speed.
For the apparent size, OP would need a particularly small Dremel-scale flap wheel. Alternately, with running the edge of a larger wheel into the gap rather than the whole wheel, a straight grinder wouldn't fit for much of the work to be done, though a right angle grinder might. A Scotch-Brite unitized wheel would work better than a flap wheel though. But there's a tool made for grinding awkward spots. >>1150516
