More Edge Prep on the Wing Ribs - The fourth part in the process is to edge prep the relief holes on the leading edges of the leading edge ribs. You can't get to the inside edges shown in the pitcure with the bench grinders and the arbor discs, so I do them by hand with a small piece of the P240 Emery cloth. At this point I also hit the tooling holes with the deburring bit.

More Edge Prep on the Wing Ribs - The last step is to finish the edge prep in the lightening holes in the webs with the die grinder. I used the 1" scotch brite wheels to do this. You can see the one on the bottom is well worn. This method works well.
