Truing airframe ends with a laser help

watheyak · Oct 18, 2014

He all,
A while back I saw an article about truing the ends of airframe tubes using a laser. I'm pretty sure it was a Jim Jarvis article, but it's not part of his "Illustrated Carbon Airframe Guide", and I can't find it after an extensive search both here and on Google. Anyone have a copy?

Thanks!

That link goes to the Part 1 article. This link goes to Part 2 (with the tube truing):

I have tried and it works, just very time consuming depending on how accurate you want to be.

If you know the side of your tube is resonably perfect you can always use a miter saw. That is what I do now, I make sure my blade is 90* and I am done in a few minutes.
