After match drilling the F-1204 center channel, deburring the outer portion of the center channel was a snap using the Avery deburring tool. However, that tool is too long for use inside of the center channel. At first the bit was unscrewed from the Avery tool and spun by hand for a few holes but doing 73 holes this way ? my fingers were getting sore just thinking about it! There had to be a better way. After a little brainstorming, hit upon an idea that proved to work great!
The angle drill is a seldom used tool in the drawer and appeared to have the same thread size as the bit on the deburring tool. So simply screwed the deburring bit in the angle drill and went to work easily deburring all the remaining holes in the center channel. It is always satisfying to successfully repurpose a seldom used tool with great results. Have not seen this deburring method for tight spots posted here, so thought I would pass on my good fortune.
