Devedander Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 So I know this is about the simplest thing you guys probably do, but I am wondering what the techniques and tools you use to do this are? Do you just go at it with a file or sandpaper or something? I tried searching but not really sure what terms turn up results for this...

cskent69 Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Sandpaper (for metal), tape (cover sentitive areas), elbow grease, and Cods for cleanup. That's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbj69 Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 if u have a bench grinder or a dremel , u can get u a fine abrasive wheel and do this easier and keep it only on the edges lightly till it rounds it smoothly then polish ,keep in mind keep it only on the edge so u dont messup your finish on the braclet , if u do u will have to rebrush it , hope this helps joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devedander Posted October 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Thanks for the advice, I have a dremel and may try that... Do you take your bracelets apart and do them one link at a time? Also want to smooth out my crown (Daytona with very big sharp grips on the crown) I am thinking maybe the dremel/abrasive wool would work on this also? What about little bits of metal going into the watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OiRogers Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 For just a quick "deburr"... The eraser from one of those Erasable Pens works wonders... Learned this trick from Birdman... So I cannot take credit... But it does work wonders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauteHippie Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Er, what's an "erasable pen" exactly then??? It's a pen with an eraser. It works by removing paper, essentially. So it's a rather abrasive rubber. Great idea, and I suspect it'd work well for this task. Should give you the right edge while at the same time providing a lot of margin for error since you won't have the ability to remove much material at once.

HauteHippie Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Ok, so who is going to do a pictorial about it? Hehehe. Place eraser on edge to be deburred. Move eraser back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
