This might be a dumb question but does doing this weaken the metal at all

O man thats the motvation I needed. I just stepped away from the dremel and sandpaper to check my messages. I wasnt going to go all the way up to 1000. I think Im going to stick to 600-800 range. That looks outstanding, great job my friend.
