Title: The TE wedge….
So now it was time to countersink the dreaded trailing edge wedge. I did this using the jig I purchased from Cleveland tool. This did not turn out very well. I sent Vans tech a picture to make sure it was acceptable and it was not. So, I had to reorder my first part, a new trailing edge wedge. 50 bucks after the part and shipping, as well as a 2 week wait. Bummer! The issue was I may have went too deep as to try and have the skin lay flush against the wedge. Vans says this will result in a too deep countersink. They sent me a diagram to illustrate this. The other issue is the 3 flute countersink cutter chatters quite a bit when the material gets so thin.
