Hinge Slot Sander
« on: May 02, 2012, 04:22:25 AM »
I recently saw a little gadget advertised somewhere that was a little hinge slot sander that sets the depth of each slot the same.  For the life of me, I can't find who makes it or sells it.  Any ideas?

I looked also in RSM Distribution and Control Line Central to no avail. I made one awhile back and need another. I'll
watch this thread.

You make it yourself out of scraps of balsa wood.   It is like a T-Bar sander, except a peice of wood and sandpaper the thickness you want for the hinge barrel.  Or the depth you want.   Haven't done it yet, but a search on hinging might bring something up. H^^

I know one could be easily built but I saw a red plastic one very recently.  I drove to an out of state hobby shop last week and was looking at all the doo-dads they had on turnarounds.  I bought some of this and some of that.  Can't remember, but maybe that's where I saw it.  I want to say it was Great Planes or Dubro but I have searched those sites to no avail.

You can make one in 15 minutes , Makes no sense to buy one. You might splurge for some Great planes sticky sandpaper but even that isn't really necessary.

Make your own!  A piece of "emery" board (nail sander) and a little block of balsa with a slot.  Glue as necessary.

Dick:
What you describe sounds like this:

This gadget only marks the center line, I use the Great Planes "Slot Machine" to cut the hinge slot.

No, but thanks.  I ordered the plywood ones from Brodak.  They are as good as I could make.
