Haven't had time to work on the plane, but I have bought a couple of tools. 😁 I'm kind of a sucker for useful tools.
I have a nibbler, but it's pneumatic and that's a pain... I recently stumbled across this cool tool which is a versatile nibbler that uses your drill. Good for cutting circles, curves, etc. This would have been a better tool to use to cut that notch for the wiring the other day.
I read an article in Kitplanes the other day (from the guy that does HomebuiltHelp) that recommended this tool for cutting straight lines in sheet metal. Using a straight edge, you just score the sheet a few times with this knife (not going the whole way through) and then just snap it off. Much cleaner line (and way easier!) than using snips which I think are a real pain to use (especially if it's thick sheet) and don't give you the cleanest lines.
have you tried a box cutter? This tool says its for plastic laminates?
ReplyDeleteThis blade seems thicker/sharper than a box cutter (which I do have).
