    Why become a Subscribing Member?

    • In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.
    • We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction).
    • Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Eight-point Roll

After cutting the center 1 1/2" hole (cut under-sized with a 1 3/8" holesaw 'cause a 1 1/2" holesaw makes a larger than 1 1/2" hole) I spin the plate in a vice and very carefully file it, spinning it an 1/8th of a turn at a time... round and round and round. On DeltaCAD I drew successive holes up to the 1 1/2" and one past it (clearly marked with a dotted line instead of a solid line.) This allowed me to ease up on the hole and keep it circular.
