So, apologies again if I failed to find the answer during a search.
When working on my "control surface" practice kit, I came across an area to debur I wasn't sure how to accomplish.
You rivet the ribs to the spar in an earlier step, and then later cleco the skins to the skeleton and match drill. This creates brand new holes in the spar.
The problem is the very front hole in the rip is already sandwiched under the spar (and riveted on), but now there is a bur between it and the spar. Seemed like too small of an area to use a "chip chaser" type arrangement too, but I could be wrong as I don't yet have one to test. (And there is a notable bur there pushing the metal apart.)
I figured I could just make a "mini chip chaser" out of scrap aluminum... but was curious what the proper/usual solution might be, by all those that have come before me?
Thanks!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
