Why not use sand blasting it stops taking material
when you quit and is a TON safer
It was a thought that crossed my mind. I'm just not sure what the time standing there blasting, relative to material removed would be. Also, not sure that thinner items wouldn't deform first. It could probably be a more controlled process, just not quite as easy as dropping part in a bucket. 
I could take the easy way and drill holes which actually can look pretty cool when done right, but I am looking to maintain a factory appearance and finish on each item. Just looking for 1600 ounces to remove without the naked eye catching it. 
I'll give the blasting a shot this week and let you know how it goes.
