For you Tube and Fabric guys.
What power tools (or others) due you consider essential for your 'hanger shop'. I think a Drill press (the lower the RPM the better), bench top Grinder, a Sander (1", 4"? and a 6-8" disk?), TIG welder (one with low amps and a Pulser for the newer guys, Lincoln TIG 185?), and a Tube Notcher capable of notching 1/2" tube OVER 45 degrees (unless you use the grinder.
I've already got a Grizzly Drill press capable of 140-3050rpm and a Delta variable speed 6' Bench Grinder. What else do I need to equipe my empty shop with to build a Tube and Fabric airplane? (Spacewalker II). Thanks
