<p>This invention relates to a method for manufacturing a plurality of longitudinally extending slots in the bore of a component (1). One example of such a component is the sleeve element of an automotive power steering rotary valve. More particularly the invention is directed towards a method of minimising burring of the slot edges of the sleeve component. The method comprises the steps of gripping the component in a gripping means (2) of a workholding device, performing a cutting operation (5) in which the slot is cut in the bore by a cutting tool (5), and further machining the edges of the slot by inserting a deburring means (30) into the bore and imparting relative angular reciprocation between the deburring means and the component.</p> |
