| Subject: | Fiberglass Cutting Tools |
Thanks to Tex for the advice on tools to date.
I am still building my toolkit while waiting on the kit delivery which is
now scheduled for the week of December 10th.
Arion uses and Tex recommended an air grinder with cut-off wheels.
I don't have a compressor. Can anyone recommend an adequate electric tool?
I also need to buy hole saws. I am told carbide is best for fiberglass.
Anyone know a good source?
I am thinking that I don't need top quality tools as there is not a lot of
cutting to be done and after this project, it may be years before I need
them again!

Colin:
Since most of us are not going to build many airplanes, I found that places
like Harbor Freight and Grizzly are a good way to get a usable tool for
cheap. Many times, if you do a little research, you will find that some of
the tools made for people like Grizzly, or even the higher end companies are
made by the same people that Harbor Freight imports from, (like their metal
cutting bandsaw)
The nice thing is that they take their tools back with no questions asked if
they fail. I went through 2 hydraulic jacks before I got one that was
right. No questions asked.
If I am buying power tools, I buy quality since I am using it many times
over during my lifetime. If I am using something 4-5 times, I look at HF.
Jim!

Sorry Tex, I just went to the Permagrit website and see that they have hole
saws too!

Nick or Mark, I have 20 feet of "parker parflex" tubing. Is this for
the brake lines or the static line or both? Tex
