Remember this!
Deburr and file are both techniques used to remove material from a surface to make it smoother or safer to handle. However, deburring is specifically for removing rough edges or burrs, while filing can be used for shaping, smoothing, or sharpening. Filing is more precise and versatile, while deburring is more focused on removing rough edges or burrs from metal or plastic materials.
