COMMENTS: Highly recommended to practice making slots on scrap
balsa before using the Slot Machine on your model. The Slot Machine
works far better than a hobby knife for making slots in thin balsa
and fragile structures because you do not have to push so hard while
cutting. One thing to be aware of is when cutting into thin
material, the possibility is greater of the blades coming out of the
wood during the cut, due to misalignment or technique.
Blades: Replacement Blades: GPMR4015 for CA Hinges (comes stock)
Slot Machine Cuts Slots To Accommodate Most Hinges and Tail Gear
Brackets Such As: Great Planes, Sullivan, Goldberg (Klett), Sonic-Tronics
and Dubro (except for the cotter pin hinges-slot will have to be
deepened 1/16" more). (The thicker blades for nylon hinges will
produce a slot that is the right thickness, but NOT DEEP ENOUGH for
the Dubro heavy duty hinges. The difference in depth is .08" (a
little under 3/32"). In many cases, the modeler can cut 3/32" off
the tabs of heavy duty hinges, and use the slots cut by the Slot
Machine.) OR modeler can use GPMR4017 heavy duty hinge blades.
Optional Blades: GPMR4016 for Nylon Hinges or Tail Gear Brackets.
Length of Blade: 3/4" Total Thickness: 0.024" (0.6mm) Blade Cutting
Depth: 0.179" Optional Blades: GPMR4017 for Heavy Duty Nylon Hinges
Length of Blade: 1-5/8" Total Thickness: 0.037" Blade Cutting Depth:
0.729" Blade changes are simple by removing only four phillips head
screws. (a soldering iron may be used to heat the locktight on the
screws)
Safety Precautions: Blades are sharp: Keep Out Of Reach Of
Children, use safety equipment, secure parts being cut, use for
hobby use only. |
