Thanks Ed, yes, I have the R2D2 dimpler and love it! The issue was that I was deburring too aggressively. One of our EAA members came to my house last night and said i am not allowed to use a speed dimpler anymore, haha. So now I have to use only an over sized drill bit twirling it between my fingers. Probably a good thing...

Thanks to everyone for your help with this issue, I really appreciate it!

I do have one additional question, does anyone know how to deburr the inside of an aileron rib (the holes near the trailing edge have very little clearance on the inside and can't get the bit in there.

Thanks!

Also, a reamer will leave more of a round and clean hole than a twist bit when match drill-reaming

Just hit the back side of the hole gently with some 350-400 grit sandpaper.
