I.A.2. Remove stock thickness:

Once parts are cut away from their sheet they will still need to have the sheet thickness
removed from them. As can be seen from the below photo, the .090” sheet thickness
between the red lines should be removed. Coarse sandpaper in a sanding block is
recommended to remove this material. Work slowly, checking progress often.
