Don't know if that's the word I should use or not but I'm looking to soften the edges of this piece I made.I know I could litely file & sand it, is there a better way?

Maybe a fine sanding drum on a dremel tool, go very lightly.

I usually use my pocket knife with the blade angled to scrape not cun in. A three cornered file ground with a small wheel till its is concave and has an sharp edge with no teeth remaining is better but I've usually finished using the pocket knife before I could find the scraper to start.

i use these tools for that and a grinder depending on how small the radius I want is.

Thanks...the knife edge worked good to take the sharp corners off. I think I'm gonna try the dremil to get a softer corner.

Norton makes a fine sanding disk in various sizes for dremels or bench grinders. It is similar to a tightly packed scotch-brite wheel. I use a 40 grit to deburr steel and 90 grit for aluminum. The 90 would be great for that piece.

SELF INTRODUCTION: I've got motorcycles in my blood. Growing up with my dad riding them, I feel like I've always had my fingers tightly wound around handlebar grips. My taste for bikes and the family are strong and the only bike I'll ride is one that's been stripped down to the essentials. I don't care for all of high tech stuff on the new stuff. I just want simplicity. not a Limousine on 2 wheels.

yes, deburring is the correct word to use for this. filing and sanding is ok to do but i'd recommend getting a buffing wheel that's mounted on a portable grinder stand. i used to use said device at one my old employers as a CNC lathe operator and I had to deburr the edges of some parts. the material was a consumable and i'm not sure who supplied them to us but i'm sure you can find something similar, if not the same, at harbor freight or somewhere that sells shop equipment. but, you probably know that already.
