| Subject: | 4130 cutting with PLASMA? |
Has anyone had good results cutting 4130 sheet with a plasma cutter?
Gas (the old cutting torch method) renders sloppy results and I'd like a
better way to cut 4130.

I had a chance to try out a plasma cutter. It's a great tool. You can cut any
shape quickly and neatly. I havent seen on for less than about $1000. I keep
looking and wishing.

in a perfect world I'd have a TIG welder, MIG welder, Gas welder/Torch AND a plasma
cutter. You could do some awesome metalwork with that setup.
Of course a Flowjet water cutter, 8' shear, 8' brake, metal roller, English Wheel,
power hammer, mandrel pipe bender would be nice too.

Friction sawing on a band saw works very well. I see no reason why a plasma cutter
would not work.

Pieters
Went to the airport this afternoon for a part and in this hangar was a Cuby,
wingless. I asked about it. It was built as a EAA project and finished out by
an individual member. He flew it for a short time and it got away from him as
he propped it w/o chocks, hit a hangar and damaged the wings. One new spar in
one wing and a few small dinkies and leading edge on the other. No prop or
engine damage. Operator who bought it says he doesn't have the time to finish it.
Both wings need covering and a few places need covering on the fuse.
Otherwise should be a good flyer with the minimum of work. Located at Downtown
Airport, Shreveport, La. Contact Lee Gunter 318 226 1512 or Leedonna@shreve.net.
I
told him I would list this on the net for him. Oh, it has an A-80 Continental.

Unless there's some hardening in the immediate area of the flame.....that may not
always be desirable.
Northern Tool and Harbor both have an outstanding metal cutting band saw (cuts
horiz and vert) for around $170.....EASILY worth the money.....

I'd add to your list ---a metal cutting band saw- in fact I'd list it first.

Rick,
I drilled for the 3/16" bolts, acording to the plans. Just use care to make
nice clean straight holes. I also drilled a #40 hole in the top of each of
the bellcrank bearings, so I could oil them at each yearly 'Condition
Inspection'.

That's what I use to cut all my 4130, both tubing and sheet steel. When I
raise it up to verticle, I use it to cut sheet steel over.090" thick. I bought
mine used for $30.
