Miter saws work great. Just backup the piece. I also used my table saw for ripping and cross cutting various angles. Then the stationary belt sander.

Well, the formers for the turtle deck are made of foam, not wood. I started with wood and it was a mess, so having the general shape, I marked that on a piece of foam and it was a simple task to get the shape I wanted to glass over. Whenever I would make a fiberglass part, of course, I would make it with some glass hanging over the edges. It was very simple to then go back and trim the edges on the band saw. I found that using a knife would make some cuts where I did not want them if the knife slipped. And of course, any angle or other aluminum part that could not be cut by the shear, or when it was not convenient to go to the shear, I would cut with the band saw. I also made several parts out of aluminum block ( old retract spring bar ) on my radial arm saw, not having a milling machine. Man, I wish I had a milling maching.

For me, a band saw was one of the best tool investments that I made. I cut a lot of foam and even fiberglass parts as well as aluminum with it. Just get plenty of blades as fiberglass will tear them up after a few uses. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics? Peoples Choice at 2013 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Il ?

I purchased a metal cutting band saw from Sears about 28 years ago for $128. The same saw goes for $492 now. http://www.sears.com/black-bull-mbs45-4-1-2-inch-metal-cutting/p-SPM1532756414?prdNo=5=5=G5 Every piece of aluminum on my KR-2 that ever needed to be cut was done on this band saw, plus numerous other projects. A steady hail of aluminum and steel saw dust chips has rained down on the motor. No problem: The air intake and exhaust for cooling are on the underside of the motor. The V-belt and pulleys are enclosed in a plastic cover. Only maintenance ever done was to replace the blades.

>I purchased a metal cutting band saw from Sears about 28 years ago for $128. >Sid Wood A band saw may be handy but I built my KR using a hacksaw to cut aluminum and a 4 inch stationary belt sander to shape the parts. Maybe that's why it took me 13 years. :-) Personally, I'd spend my tool money on a good compound miter saw and a good drill press. Larry Flesner
