RE: Installing dubro hinges in ARF
Hello AA5BY,
I have purchased the Great Planes slotter, I don't know if your familiar with it. I have a Harbor Freight close to me so I will check out the multifunctin tool. I'm going back and forth on Robart hinges for my next build a (Revolver 70) which is on my shelve waiting, and the Dubro. I like the Dubro due to more surface area especially on control surfaces with only a 1/2" thick leading edge. As others have stated the Robarts may need backing. I see your picture with the tool on a bare piece of wood. How does you system work if the wood is covered as in a ARF, is it a clean look? What I'm not happy about is that I can't seem to cut a nice slot in the monocote and them recess the barrell part of the hinge. Any suggestions how I can do this?
Thank you,
Pat
