Brief Description: Finished Flange tool More rib deurring
I was able to finish up the Flange Tool that I found on a number of post on the Vans Airforce site. The build was straight forward.
I separated all of the wing ribs into Right and Left piles and marked them with a sharpie and started deburring the Left pile first. I used the bench grinder scotchbrite wheel for the most of the flanges followed up by a diegrinder with small scotchbrite wheel to finish up the surface that I couldnt reach with the benchgrinder and then used small strips of emery cloth to get all the hard to reach spots. A quich pass with a scotchbrite pad to smooth everything out and the left rib flanges were done!!! (seems fast but I only had 5 left from my work earlier in the build)
Next I used my small scotchbrite drum in a die grinder to deburr all of the lightening holes.....a few passes around and they were sssmmmooootttthhhh. I decide to rough up the flanges before fluting and dimpeling because is seems easier to do now that after all the flutes and dimples are in the way (actually I saw that on another build site and I sounded like a good idea)
Flange tool for making the Rib Flanges 90 degrees with ease
Using the big scotchbrite wheel to debur ribs
Used the smaller wheel to get the rest of the flanges that couldnt be reached
