I just acquired some new Indian casings and the castings are very rough.
He's anybody any tips or experience tidying up all the casting flash etc.?

What number light grit did you use please? I've got a casing to do as well and have to buy some flap wheels but they go from 40 to 400. I know the higher the number the finer the grit, but I don't want o go out and buy 400's and find they won't touch the surface.
Thanks
Phil

I just sanded it with 100 grit and then bead blasted it the blasting smoothed out the sanding marks
