where is the best place to order scott bright wheel and what size?
I bought mine from Cleveland. I bought a 6" light and a 6" cut and polish.

I picked up several smaller wheels (2") on ebay as well to put in the die grinder which is great for large edges and large enough holes.
I find that the large wheels on the grinder tend to catch the parts and cause issues but it might be technique or I need to get a variable speed wheel and slow it down.

This post might be overboard, but here are the things I use to deburr edges.
1. I have one of these mounted to bench grinder:

I use a disc sander attached to a drill with 80 grit sand paper (I think that is the grit paper I use) to grind this wheel down when the grooves get too deep.
2. I bought 10 of 1" by 1" wheels and have gone through all of them (finished deburring all of wing parts and empennage parts). They are small enough to fit into a lot of the holes. Once you get groves that are too big, the sand down on a belt sander. U can sand them down pretty small, such that you can deburr most holes on the wings and empennage. I did buy cheaper ones from ebay, but they sucked.

3. one of these kits, which provides you with a couple of 2" wheels (I never use) and the fittings to mount the wheels for the die grinder.

4. one of the following, which is the holder for the discs below:

5. a box of these from ebay. these things kick butt for deburring the edges of ribs or any place where the metal is folded at a corner. I used about 15 on the wings/empennage.

5. Finally, I really like to deburr rivet holes with the following tools. The extension is invaluable for inside edges of flanges.

Builders have been using these tools for a long time with great success...
My guess is that it is your technique. Parts must always make contact with the wheel in such a way that the wheel rotation is trailing off of the edge you are deburring. Never with the wheel rotation turning into the edge of piece.
6" Soft Wheel
Initially I just had 6" cut and polish wheel and found out that it removes too much material. I bought 6" soft wheel from Cleveland tools and now most of the time I use this wheel for any kind of polishing or deburring. I only use cut and polish wheel if I have to remove material.
