What is the next step after enlarging holes in an assembly?

After enlarging holes in an assembly, the appropriate next step is to deburr the holes. This process involves removing any sharp edges or burrs that may have formed during the hole enlargement to ensure a smooth and clean surface. Deburring is crucial because sharp edges can lead to issues such as stress concentrations that compromise the integrity of the assembly or could cause injury during handling.

Additionally, a smooth hole surface prepares it for the subsequent installation of fasteners or other components, ensuring a better fit and tighter seals. It’s an essential step before any further processing, such as fastening or painting, can occur, as it guarantees the quality and safety of the assembly work.
