Mark, don't forget to very lightly chamfer/deburr any holes that you drill or reamin your steel fittings. This will also help prevent stress risers.--------Billy McCaskillBaker, LAtail section almost done, starting on ribs soonRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Routed Rib Jig
Pietenpol-List: Routed Rib Jig
Original Posted By: Gene Rambo
Here is a picture of our rib jig. We drew up the rib in autocad and had it routedit out on a cnc. The reason we came up with this ideas is being that my fatherand I are both building together we wanted to be able to both make ribsin our own garages at our leisure as we continue to focus on other parts of thebuild when we get together. We wanted to ensure that they where exactly thesame. All the gusset areas are routed down about 1/32 so you can inlay and snapthe bottom gussets in place, that way we can glue both sides of the rib upat once and complete a whole rib per night instead of just one side. Afterthe first rib my dad came up with the clever idea of making a peg board to removethe completed rib once dry.--------Fred KimPittsburgh, PaRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/gedc ... __________
