If you leave the vinyl on the edges, you won't get a fully smooth,
deburred edge.
Scotchbrite wheel gives nicer edges than 1" pad in die grinder. Each
has its use, and the die grinder is necessary for some things you
can't reach with Scotchbrite wheel.

still go through the motions of deburring, but for the life of me I can't
tell the difference in pre- and post-deburring of these holes. Perhaps I'm
doing something wrong, or perhaps using this tool means I don't have to
deburr.

Get #41 reamer. You will get holes that are the right size after
dimpling, rather than loose.

- Join a local EAA chapter and visit a few builders, to see what they are
doing and get their advice.
Good advice.
