So I'm beginning to feel like a huge dummy here. I'm spending AGES deburring parts, and I can't help but think I'm doing it wrong. So before I spend even more time on this, can you guys and gals give me some tips? I have at my disposal:
Edge deburring tool
Bench grinder 3M wheel
2" 3M wheel
1" 3M wheel
Dremel
Red Scotch Brite pads
I'm still extremely fresh to the game and haven't actually riveted anything yet, so I have time to fix my methods. I guess my questions are:
1. On a smaller part like a rib, what steps do you take to deburr it?
2. On a larger part like a spar, what steps do you take to deburr it?
3. On a part with lots of little flanges in it, what steps do you take to deburr it?
4. When using a deburr wheel, are you running the part across the wheel on both faces or just straight down the edge of the part? Or do you run it across both faces and the edge?
5. Same question, but with the edge deburr tool
6. What about lightening holes?
7. What about thicker parts like the rudder horn?
I know these are probably super basic questions, but I'm having a heck of a time figuring out what the most effective technique is from googling/youtubing. Additionally, I'm not sure which surfaces of the part are supposed to be deburred (Edge vs face). I'm in no rush, and can keep deburring stuff like I have been - The finishes are butter smooth. But I can't help but feel like I'm not being very efficient, and aside from that, I want to make sure that I'm actually deburring properly.
