The first step in building the emp kit is to put a 1/32" radius on the edges of the rear HS spar doublers. I've not had any problems deburring edges of parts using a deburring tool and emory cloth, but this is a much greater challenge. Does anyone have any specific techniques and tool suggestions to share to do this task properly?
Thanks, JC

I simply ran the HS spar doublers over a belt sander and followed that up with a small mill file to break the edges.RV8Astandard wrote:The first step in building the emp kit is to put a 1/32" radius on the edges of the rear HS spar doublers.

After that I used fine emery paper to smooth out all of the mill and file marks.
Finally I wet sanded both doublers with 400 wet/dry sandpaper. this produced a nice satin smooth finish as is called for in the plans.
Certainly not the only way to accomplish the task but it worked well for me.
