feather cut

[Amir Neshati]

I've cut small and large stuff with Feather Cut.....works great...Just follow the instructions.
Matt's suggestions are in there too...I don't have any issues with the supplied wheel. I just
do a few dry runs with the bow (as recommend in the instructions ;-) to make sure it follows
the correct path before doing the real cut.....Did I mention the instructions work ;-)

Good luck,
Amir

  Thanks, Matt.  I have not tried that, but it sure sounds easier than the way I was trying.

  Try a larger harder wheel.  I'm trying to learn, too.  Wings are not too
  bad.  Stabs ok, too.  I tried cutting a vertical fin.  That didn't go
  very well.  The big difference between root and tip along with the very
  short span make it very challenging.

  Steve,

  There should be a way to use simple geometric principles to cut a very sort span, highly tapered wing such as a fin. Have you tried anchoring one end of the bow down, and only moving the other in a circular fashion. The anchored end will basically serve as the center of the circle. Depending on where you place the foam blank within the circle, you should be able to cut a very high taper and short span wih extreme accuracy.

  BTW, this is true for all tapered wings, except it becomes somewhat impractical for wide chord wing tips, because the circle center is sometimes 10 feet away from where the cut is made.

  Just an idea for you to mull over
