Jaegers 6" f/10 "GJD" OTA Construction - The Dew Shield (removing the burrs with files - 1)

 

Dew Shield being cut to proper size - 8. (Click to see an enlarged image.)

 

As with the main tube, I had to remove the razor sharp burrs that were produced by the hacksaw during the cutting of the Dew Shield. Using the same set of small files I used before, I took my time filing away the burrs. Afterwards, I filed a small chamfer around the circumference of both ends that really helped nullify the likelyhood of getting injured.
