Slot cutting
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 4:22 pm
Anyone come up with a neat, easy (or not so easy) way to cut narrow slots in
the metal? I'm cutting the holes for the strut attaches, ST-39, (starting
to know some part numbers now) in the bottom of the elevator and the opening
is smaller than my nibbler and too small for my snips. I experimented with
a chisel but didn't like the way it treated the edges. My best guess is
chain drill and file.
Zero degrees and windy; a good day to be inside working on R207. Thanks,
Craig
