Hello All.
I've read many a thread to try to get a sense of how far to go in deburring. The opinions seem to vary anywhere between: (a) as long as you can't cut yourself you're fine OR (b) round all edges very smooth.
To get to all edges very smooth and rounded can take me hours for a handful a ribs when I'm dealing with the flange relief cut notches and trying to get a tool in there to shape enough material. Using the emery cloth strip shoeshine approach.
One thing I can't wrap my head around is the transition from the flange side surface to it's top cut edge. In the pics below, you can see the area I'm wondering about. I've used the horizontal stab flange to illustrate it as clearly as I could.
I think it may have something to do with the end of the alclad on the flange side face. If I run my fingernail up from there it does catch every so slightly. But to remove this it seems like I need to do endless deburring and keep whatever tool/abrasive I'm using at a very shallow angle.
This particular stab flange edge has already been deburred on the large scothbrite wheel in bench grinder.
What does everyone think, do I need to remove any signs of a catch of the fingernail?
Thanks in advance for your help!
