(330) 429-5265. If I can't answer right away just leave me a message and I'll get back to you. I don't have the jig right now and without seeing it in front of me it's kind of hard to figure but you might be able to mount your fuselage attach lugs on the outside of the fixture rails to get the 26". Not real sure though. I think Fred Kim has it near Pittsburgh right now.

From: "taildrags" Steve; back to your question (and the observation offered by Tools)- it should not change the toe-in/out geometry when you load the cockpit, so you shouldn't need to check it with you or anybody else sitting in the airplane but it wouldn't hurt, either. It will change the track and camber, obviously. I flew Scout for one summer season with washers, not proper shims, correcting the toe-in/out on one axle because it was not straight. That's not the proper way to do it, but you can at least fiddle with thin or thick washers (or put one on the belt sander to get it right)- and find the necessary shim thickness and angle you need if you have Cessna type axles with the 4-bolt mount pads. Please recognize that washers are not the proper way to correct the situation though ;o) -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=418157#418157 ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 06:11:07 PM PST US From: Yahoo!

I need some advice. I have a commercial type band saw that uses a 93 inch blade. It is really for wood, but I have slowed it down with a jack shaft I made, and it is slow enough now. I tried to rip some .100 4130 and it quickly ruined my blade. Is this not going to work. I need to come up with some way to make this thing work. I've been making some progress on my fuselage and hopeing to finish it by spring then move on to the wing when time allows Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=418163#418163 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/jeep_motor_1_118.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/controls_2_491.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/controls_1_908.jpg ________________________________ Message 11 ____________________________________ Time: 08:58:36 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Cutting 4130 From: "nightmare" I find my 4 1/2 angle grider with cutoff disc works great. I have a second grinder with a sanding disc to clean up edges. Many fittings can be made by first buying strip steel of correct width to reduce cuts needed. -------- Paul Donahue Started 8-3-12 do not archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=418164#418164 ________________________________ Message 12 ____________________________________ Time: 10:13:22 PM PST US From: "Clif Dawson" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Cutting 4130 Make a table for better control. This one, along with a 5" vise, is mounted atop a restaurant table base. It can be rolled around the same as a55 gal drumor barrel. With one foot on it it's solid. Make the table hieght the same as the top of the vise jaws. Although these pics aren't great I'm sure guys- who-build-Piets can figure it out. :-) Clif It matters not what things have been.

So they'll do it. What kind of blade are you running? Mine are generally around 14 tpi, maybe less. How slow have you got it to run with your jack shaft? I'll go double check mine, but it's pretty slow. It's a triple gear reduction. Doing it with pulleys is generally pretty tough. It's a VERY small pulley running a LARGE pulley, a couple of times. I suspect your blade is going to fast. I imagine my wheels are going somewhere around 60 rpm at the fastest. My 20" saw goes around 30 rpm.
