Nov 02, 2022     Section 43: Cabin Cover       Category: Cabin Cover
Continued work on the Cabin Top. Still doing the rough cuts. So far, I'm using the Angle Grinder with a Cutoff Wheel, a Die Grinder with Cutoff Wheel and a Oscillating Saw. The pneumatic die grinder uses a lot of air and the compressor runs constantly and it has a tendency to bog down. So, it's not my favorite. The long straight cuts the Angle Grinder works well. Also a belt sander helps. When I need more control the Oscillating Saw works better. I used a Dremel for the smaller radius cuts. I also got a 80 grit flap disc for the grinder which helps with some of the areas the belt sander can't reach. Measuring the door frame width, it looks like it's still about 1/4 inch too wide. So, another 1/8 inch on each edge needs to come off. For the inside radius of the windows and door the drum sanding wheel works well.
