How do you de-bur sheet metal cuts

Post by Puff » July 18th, 2014, 5:59 pm

In the process of cutting 18gauge steel with my 4 1/2 inch grinder. I am wondering what the best method would be to take the remarkably sharp and slightly irregular edges down to smoother handling level?


Make no mistake, there ain't no powder in this Puff ! And... I'm not really a crazy person but I play one in real life

My favorite way is to use a plasma cutter :-)
