Although we modified out lid a few months ago for the shoulder harnesses, we
recently began trimming it to fit the fuselage. In our first attempt we used
a compressor and cutoff wheel that supplied only 6 CFM (at)90 PSI. This was
insufficient and resulted in cutting a distance of about 72" in about 90
mins. This morning we used a larger compressor and completed the cut to trim
lines for doors, windows, mid side flanges, rear flanges, windscreen flanges
and under door flanges. The areas were then sanded with a sanding wheel and
belt sander. This mornings work was done in two hours using a few sanding
disks and three cutoff wheels.

I threw away the friction disk after about two minutes, I found much better
success with a body air saw. Very precise cutting and 24 tooth blade didn’t
bind.

19.00 from harbor freight. The blades last about 4feet or so, so get extras.
The other benefit is it doesn’t toss fiberdust all over the shop.
