[rebel-builders] Deburring Technique
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 8:35 pm
Use a flat file. First run the edge at a slight angle to the metal to get
the majority of burr off. Then run the file flat, holding it flat with
several fingers on the stringer in this case, along the metal. Finally, if
you really want to be perfect, you can use a piece of 3M # 7447 scotch pad
along the surface.

Today, I spent quite a bit of time working to debur the six stringers on the
SR2500 Horizontal Stab. Drilling through the skin and into the stringer in
many cases left a significant burr on the inside of the stringer. I found
this difficult to get at with my trusty drill bit (too thick), and it didn't
respond well to a standard deburring tool from the outside of the stringer.
Does anyone have a good technique or discovered a relatively easy way to
debur these pieces? I ended up using a smaller drill bit but found it
difficult to twist, especially with the arthritis in my right hand.
Thanks,
