Was doing my final inspection of ribs for HS after completing fluting Deburring and priming. I was using a magnifier to look at flutes closely and discovered that I had small cracks at the top edges on some of the flutes. Apparently I was too aggressive with some of the flutes. Looks like I have cracks on more than half of the ribs.
. Was curious if anyone else has had this issue in the past? Could not find in a search on fluting issues. The fluting pliers I have make a nice smooth indent. Apparently I just need to flute more places and less deep to minimize potential for cracking in the thin material. Have ordered replacements for these as they are not acceptable to me.
