So this is a newbie question.
I've been working on my new HS and I'm wondering if I'm over doing the edge finishing. Here is what I've been doing.
1. File edges to remove punch marks.
2. Use cut and polish wheel to polish edge and remove burrs.
3. Touch up sand the spots that I couldn't get to using the wheel with 240 grit emery cloth.
4. Do a final quick sand with 400 grit fine sand paper.
This gives me a really nice edge finish, but it takes a while. I'm just wondering about the general process that is used by other builders and whether I could simplify this process and save some time.
