Posted: Tue Dec 19, 2006 9:48 am Post subject: Using Sandpaper for various deburring tasks

I find that sandpaper on an aluminum block makes deburring long straight 

edges pretty easy.  The disksander works well on smaller parts.  I'm 

thinking of using a rubber block on some of those gently curving skins 

on the tailcone.



Any thoughts on optimal grit and type of paper for this kind of work?  

Aluminum oxide would seem to be a good choice but I just don't know.  

What do you do?



Noel and Yoshie I believe mentioned using sandpaper for some hole 

deburring - can you comment as to how and with what?  I assume they are 

using a block on prepunched sheets to knock down the 'volcanoes'.  Would 

you wait until after dimpling or while it's flat?  BTW, thanks for the 

tip about using a dimpled piece of scrap for dimpling sheet that will 

need to accept another dimpled piece.  Will be trying that.



Thanks all,

Another question, I have to drill a hole to put in a pop rivet since I 

cannot get to the back side.  I can ream the hole, how do I debur the 

back side?

 Use a Cogsdil Burraway tool.

 Nifty little tool...

One of the tols I think works great are the fingernail emory boards, not the 

normal ones with the red/brown/orange sandpaper, but the ones with the black 

sandpaper and thick sanding core backing.  There are two grits one on each 

side.

In certain cases you can deburr like piper aircraft.
