Well I have sourced a couple of good gearbox casings that I going to build my new gearset into. I'm looking to work the inside of casing to remove any casting marks and possible stress raisers. If this will be successful I'm not sure but it's got to be worth ago!

You could try Roloc sanding discs on an angle air die grinder.

Carbide burrs work really well, just put a few drops of oil on it every now and again and the swarf doesn't clog. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

I will give them both a try. I have only given it a half hearted try :)

Rub soap on the aluminium and the burr to help prevent clogging. As above Roloc disks are excellent and finish off with a 120 grit flap wheel. I seriously doubt it! |

I tried some roloc disks on a steel panel the other day. The results where surprisingly good. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Why not get some burrs made for aluminium? On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

That's some motivation Paul. Some hours have gone into that :) Cheers for the feed back. I've used rolocs at work but they are more like scotch pads for cleaning gasket faces etc. |

Is that roloc stuff a bit like the harsh side on a washing up sponge and sort of looks like a pond filter and used for paint prep?

the rolocs have all sorts of different finishes on them. I bought a bag with several hundred disks and a few heads for about £30 from egay. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

There are a couple of teeth profiles for carbide burrs, I would recommend the chip breaker profile of teeth to minimise clogging. Own the day

Consider, if you were not that bothered about the weight saving, is there any benifit gained from the effort, other than the weight saving?

I began mine so my Salisbury would fit, but then carried on. Ive heard of lots of people stress relieving the casing and block I seriously doubt it! |
