Cutting Uniform Ribs

<< < (2/2)

stephen.shannon:
Thanks All, appreciate the pointers, in the event of doing tapered wings, (judging by the photo) you need to make up lots of depron templates, is that right ? Maybe a little more detail here would help if any of you gave time?

I was thinking of using 3mm aluminium cut for the templates and drilled for the bolts, the scroll saw will do the job on those.

Thanks

Fred:
No, you don't need to make lots of depron template. You don't even need them at all if you want to.
They are only here because of the taper, when you are going to cut/sand all your ribs, nothing will be perpendicular if you see what I mean.
Adding "extra" ribs, reduce this a little bit, but basically, once all your ribs are cut, a bit of extra sanding on the edges will sort you out quickly, but once again, not a big issue anyway :)
