I agree with Jack. If you are up in the 120 SFPM range you may want to be usingcoolant. Many horizontal saws with a coolant pump run well in this range. To be safe with a dry vertical saw, shoot for 80 SFPM.Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: nx727cr build update

I can't wait to see the rest of it. Has anyone ever used wood instead of aluminumfor the upper part of the fuse over the instrument panels? Your floor boardscould look rather smart up there.--------Scott LiefeldFlying N11MS since March 1972Steel TubeC-85-12Wire WheelsBrodhead in 1996Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Thu, 6 Feb 2014 09:55:43 -0800 (PST)

Guys,Has anyone tried the Cobra acetylene welding system on aircraft tubing? It looksalmost as good as TIG welding, uses a very small flame, easy to manage, doesnot distort the tubing, only very small area is heated. I saw a demo at the farmshow and had the fellow weld up a tubing 45 degree joint. Looked really good.Uses only 4PSI oxygen and acetylene. The literature says it is 900 F hotterthan normal acetylene flame. Also welds aluminum , stainless, copper, and castiron. It cuts almost like a plasma cutter, very clean, sharp edges, very littleslag. (Cobratorches.com).I tried it and could do a decent weld with no experience with it! I am not a welder!Would like to be!Comments?Ray KrauseSent from my iPad________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: nx727cr build update

You want a Lenox Bi-Metal Band-saw Blade. Standard TPI = 24, 1/2" wide x .025"thk. Any tool shop will make up the length you need or order one on line. YourBand-saw needs to be no more then 200 FPM.
