Subject: | Builder's tool set wanted |
I am re-posting this message to hopefully a larger forum. Sorry if you
already received it.
I am a first-time RV-10 builder and will be needing a complete tool set
soon. Will need all of the sheet metal tools in Vans' list plus a bandsaw
and any other recommendations. I was wondering if anyone desires to sell
some or all of their set, I will entertain reasonable offers.
Thank you!
Bruce Chisholm

Hi Bruce! I'm building a -10 at Valkaria Airport, X59. Should be
getting my inspection when the virus quarantine is over.
I'm holding onto my tools since I may be a 3 time offender.
Do not buy cheap tools made for cutting as they dull quickly.
Buy a couple packs each of #30 and #40 drills. Plus tap and body
drills for #6,8,10 ...... get a couple sets. plus the taps. A couple
sizes of deburring bits that fit a battery screwdriver is a must have.
Stock up on mutiple TPI blades for the bandsaw. I have an 'automatic
bandsaw', the type that has a vice to hold material as the arm cuts it
off. Saves a lot if hacksaw work on parts that won't go through the
bandsaw. The fiberglass parts are crap (IMHO) and I used an angle
grinder on mine. You might consider putting blue foam in the doors to
stiffen them but you'll need stronger struts for the extra weight. I
didn't do it because I didn't think of it in time, but you might
consider mounting the desser monster tires before making up the wheel pants.
These recommendations should deplete your bank account for starters!!!

Hi Linn ' this is great info. Once this virus thing is over I would

No tools to offer, but a few more thoughts.
If you limit yourself to cutting aluminum, a wood-cutting bandsaw will get
the job done with a relatively fine tooth, 1/4" blade. If you think you'll
need to cut steel (should be little to none for a Van's kit), plan on
spending significantly more money. A combo saw that does what Lynn
describes but also lets you raise the cutting arm to vertical and allows a
cutting table to be installed might be a good option. I lucked into a
Powermatic metal cutting saw at auction; worth checking the used market. If
you can find a used premium power tool at/near the same price as a
homeowner grade new tool, the used premium power tool will likely outlast a
new homeowner grade tool (and give better results).
I'd agree in general with Lynn's advice on cutting tools, but modify it a
bit (pardon the pun) by saying that one of Harbor Freight's 115 pc cobalt
sets is worth considering, for this reason: I've found numerous places
where 'oddball size' holes are needed, usually in one or two places and
then you're done with that size. Most of those holes are in aluminum. Yes,
the HF bits lack the quality of machinists' tools, but we're not earning a
living with them. By the time you buy every premium bit that you need (to
drill only a couple of holes each), that doesn't show up in a standard
small bit set, you'll have bought the HF set. And the HF set has every
available size up to 1/2". I've also worn out one or two of their $10
electric angle grinders, over the course of 15 years, building both the -7
(including making a custom motor mount for an alternative engine), and
various 'farm work' around the hangar and runway. Same for their small air
powered die grinder.
If I'd had unlimited funds, I'd have equipped with all premium tools
(maybe). But the cheap stuff can often get the job done, for those of us
who aren't in a production/pro level environment.
FWIW,
Charlie
