Sheet Metal Tools - VHS
55 minutes $21.50
An excellent description of the tools and techniques of
aircraft sheet metal work, showing each class of tools and
how they are used. The presentation starts with cutting
techniques using left, right, and straight snips, cutting
notches, stress relief, deburring and polishing, drill starting
and stop drills, center punches, dimpling with hand squeezers
and an Avery press, and countersinking, fluting, bending
with a small brake, and circle cutting.
Riveting coverage includes descriptions of various types
of rivets, rivet guns, hand squeezers, sets, bucking bars,
clekos, front and back riveting techniques, cutting rivets
and removing misformed rivets.
The presentation concludes with the step by step construction
from scratch, of a small control surface.
This video was originally prepared for Van's Aircraft and
builders of the RV series of homebuilt aircraft, but is
also an exceptional presentation for anybody needing to
learn the basics of aircraft sheet metal work.
