Title: Hinge Centering tool
Post by: Chris Fretz on January 20, 2018, 03:32:27 PM
So my dad asked me to come over and show him how I put my hinge slots in. He got jealous of my centering tool and would like one himself. I believe it is a Robert Centering Tool. I can't find it anywhere. Anyone know where to get one?  Pic to follow...

Thanks
Chris

Dubro

About $14.00 for the complete kit.

Perfect! Thanks! Man I searched and searched and this one never came up.  Guess cause I was looking for Robart.

I have that centering tool along with several others, I like the Tettra version you can get from Central Hobbies.  Robart makes a centering tool but it only works with round hinges like their hinge points.  Last year I got a set of the AeroBroach blades, they work very well with the DuBro or Tettra tool.  http://aerobroach.com/

Not a centering tool, but to cut the slots a hacksaw blade cut at an angle makes a great tool to make the slots. The teeth are great in helping pick the balsa out of the slot. Works great for dubro pinned hinges.

I use the centering tool with the AeroBroach. The AeroBroach is awesome.
