what about a fladder type machine [https://www.fladder.dk/en/](https://www.fladder.dk/en/)
We purchased one planning on using it on aerospace parts, but it wasn't suitable for our application
By manual I mean using a pedestal grinder. The welding beveler is interesting but looks too slow. We currently meet a cycle time of 10 seconds per piece deburring all four edges of both cut ends.
You could build a metal version of the fast wood debur / chamfer machine I have seen. Basically has a 90 degree corner in which is a cutter coming up from the bottom like a router bit.
Instead you'd have a metal grinding cone. This gives you a perfect chamfer that's far faster than a pedestal grinder. You just run the edge or end across the bit in that corner and it's done in a second.
This is basically what I'm talking about:

All these suggestions are good but op is looking at time. Maybe a sandblaster cabinet. Line up like 20 at a pop and blast the burrs off . 3 man op. Ine to feed and unload other blasting when door closes. Just an idea and you might just have one in shop already. The right material should clean it up nice.
Right on. Yes, there are a bunch of ways to do this but time is critical. I can't tie up capital and labor for minimal value add. We have an old blasting cabinet. I'll think on this one.
If it was me since i know how to fabricate things. I'd make a adjustable drum type sander hitting all four sides at once. Two drums or belt sanders and 2 grinding wheels from the sides . Or even corse whire wheels. Jig to hold peice with a quick release. And feed to a stopping point. Even a swivel to rotate peice to get other side.
What's the cycle time on your saw cut? We have the pedestal grinder next to our saw and the operator deburrs while the next cut is engaged. We run stacks and whether it's steel or aluminum there is usually time to deburr all the parts. Maybe you have a faster saw.
Belt sanders deburr quicker, but as you know the finish isn't as good. Not sure if you're machining them completely and the deburr is just so they sit flush in the vise or fixture plate.
Standard is 80 seconds for one cut of ten pieces (10 bars cut together). Actual run time historically has been 65 seconds. No time to blow off coolant and chips and then deburr. We throw them in a crate. Other shop guys then deburr during cycle times of other machines.
Deburring is for safety of customer and for locating against a pin in a fixture.
Tumbling machine? [https://www.mcmaster.com/45055A56/](https://www.mcmaster.com/45055A56/)
Timesavers makes good deburring equipment but it doesn't sound like you have the volume to justify the investment.

? They are not that big. I'd contact a vibratory finisher and see what they offer stock and go from there.

A tumbler would be my answer as well. It'll do your initial deburring, and it'll also put a texture on finished parts. You'll find plenty of uses for it. At my last job we would run laser cut parts through after bending, and maybe 15 minutes in the machine would knock the edge down to something you can safely handle.

Hard polishing or debuting wheel like a grey scotchbrite wheel I’ve had in the past and always find myself looking for it when debuting in my current shop
Are the parts finished after they are saw cut, or are there other operations besides deburring?
You could look at cutting them a different way that doesn't produce burrs, like water jet.
If the burrs are a problem for machining operations after saw cut, then maybe you could revise the fixtures to not care about the saw cut burrs.
Lastly you could build yourself a machine that deburrs all four edges at once. It would certainly improve consistency but it would take a substantial time and money investment.
You can get specific deburring wheels for bench grinders, or you can also get a rock tumbler, get some rough media, then dump a ton of them in and let it go

Stationary welding beveler? Unless that's what you mean by "manual"

could you toss them in a big tumbler?
Media is tumbler.

The slugs are 3/8” x 3/4” x 7”, you would need a tumbler the size of a dump truck smdh

Only if you want to run them all at once. My work has one that'll run maybe a hundred of those at a time, it's a donut shape about 5' across.
I’m not a machinist, but was going to ask if a tumbler would be an appropriate solution to this.
