hi,
i am working on the training project. I was using files, vixen, etc... to debur the edges of the various pieces. I also used right and left snips to trim the stiffeners. Today i bought a bench grinder. I used the grinding wheel to shape badly cut stiffener and it worked great. I then used the scotchbrite wheel to debur and round the sharp edges. I also used the scotchbrite wheel to debur and round all the rest of the pieces. So my questions are:
1) is a file really needed or is it replaced by the bench grinder?
2) Can we use the grinder wheel to shape the stiffeners instead of cutting with a snip? i did that and it seemed to work, the stiffener became very hot. i wanted to know if anyone does this.
3) do i still need to buy a belt sander?
4) will a Band saw do a better job of cutting my pieces instead of a snip or grinder wheel?
I appreciate any help.
Thx
