I spent some time last night deburring the lightening holes in all my wing ribs. I used a small (2"?) scotchbrite wheel in an air powered die grinder.
It seems like these little wheels don't last - they get deeply grooved very quickly. My 6" wheel in the bench grinder also gets grooved, but not near as fast. Is this just the way it is for these little wheels?
Also, my el-cheapo HF die grinder uses a lot of air - it made the 26 gal 135 psi compressor run pretty much continuously. Would a better quality die grinder be a good investment? I haven't used it much up to this point.
Thanks, and Happy New Year to all,
dave
