Drill Flash

After you drill the hole in the strut, there will be some flash around the edge of the hole. This excess metal is left behind by the drill. It is very sharp -- you can't just flick it off with your fingers. Sometimes I use a countersink bit in a hand drill to clear it away, but you can clear it away with the grinding wheel.
