I am assembling a W2 wattmeter. So far so good. Removing the baked on
paint for electrical conductivity at the holes is turning out to be a real
pain. Does anyone have a tip for an efficient method for doing this? So
far the best I have found is scratching with the tip of a knife. Perhaps
I'm not sure whether you need to remove paint on the inside or the
outside of the panel surface to assemble the W2. If it's an inside
job where looks don't really matter, if you have access to a really
large drill bit (say 1/2 or better) you can simply center it in the
hole and twirl it a
This isn't a difficult task. Just use a small file and scrape the paint off
around the holes. It took me all of 45 minutes from opening the packing box to
having the W2 in line. No need to overthink the building process!

When you remove the paint from around a hole the way you described you
will remove paint below the mating surfaces of the panels, not from
the mating surfaces that need to be bonded together.
