I am going to trim some plywood frames that intersect the hull right at the
shoulder position of a few quarterberths. These are either 1/4" or 3/8" plywood frames, tabbed both sides to the hull. By the way, I'm a naval architect and mech. engineer so I have a pretty good idea of what I can and cannot cut ![]() I can cut down into the glass with a jigsaw, but the baseplate of the jigsaw will bump the hull before I get close enough - and I would like to run the cut line right down the hull for about 12". So the tools I have available a - angle grinder with cut-off wheel - dremel tool with fiberglass cutting discs - jigsaw Any other tools that might work for a tight cut against the hull through fiberglass tabbing? The only other one I can think of is a reciprocating saw ("Sawz-All") but they are a bit hard to control and still get a nice close to the hull. I recognize I'll have to do some grinding / sanding of the last of the tabbing but would like to minimize the amount of this. -- Evan Gatehouse you'll have to rewrite my email address to get to me ceilydh AT 3web dot net (fools the spammers) |
