So I am going to finally start building my 7th Sojourn and need help. You can try and steer me to another design if you have valid reasons. But the 7th will make what I want it to, and what I really want is to learn the process.
How can I express this PC? I don't like chincy stuff so I plan on using drill rod for rails right from the start and servo motors and better software etc. are not highly constrained financially right from the start. I want it to be better than a stock machine as I will be making competition grade RC sailplane tails.
I need help with everything but right now I want to validate my design choice before I start and select the best trim router for it. Not likely that I will be running it with a Dremmal tool. Maybe a Rotozip. As a Carpenter I know that the Porter Cable trim router is not square. The Bosch is square, at least for carpentry purposes. Maybe it does not matter, as it will be fixed in a little 3 sided cage.
What I do know is that I have been checking the play in the bearing of these small routers/Dremals and Rotozips by hand for the past two years every time I go into a tool store and can't reach a decision as to what one to get. Just becouse there is no slop before it has a couple hours of run time on it does not mean it will be tight after 5 hours. They all have slop, seems like too much. Maybe I am too picky, as there might be bending and vibrating in other things beyond control in a machine of this type.
[I]I know that accuracy starts at the tip of the cutter and what I am getting at is that you guys have hopefully reached concensous as to what is the best moter to drive that cutter for a machine of this size[I]
Seems like they all have too much slop, please help!
Thanks!!
