The 1867 Patent Encased Burring Machines were available in two sizes, the Small and Large. The size difference was to accomodate small and larger work. Some refer to the Burring Machine as a "Thin Edge" which would indicate the thin edge of the forming roll as compared to other machinery.

This machine was extensively used in forming the bottom seam of a can in preparation to setting down and double seaming. A flange is first turned at a right angle on the body of the can. Then a burr is turned greater than a right angle on the bottom piece. The bottom is then snapped over the flange on the body and the setting down machine is used to close the seam in preparation for the double seaming machine.

The Burring Machine is one of the harder machines to master. Practice, practice, practice, is the best policy and don't get carried away with the amount of material you try to turn and several passes is necessary to obtain the best edge. Don't be surprised if you have to finish the edge with a stake and hammer.
