I am working on my aileron counterweights. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on how to cut the lead counterweight? Paul Onex 76

Paul ,I cut mine on my table saw.You have to go slowly but I guarantee it will work great.I used an 80 tooth blade simply because that's all I have. For drilling the holes scroll down the page to my comments and pic's http://www.onexmike.org/ailerons-and-flaps.html
Do not try to drill all the way through from one side .
Cheers
Mike

I cut mine on a band saw. Lead tends to fill saw teeth and drill bits so go slow and back out and clear the lead as needed. The next time I saw lead I'll freeze it overnight to see if it cuts better.

Try my tips and tricks on my a Expercraft builders log. Easiest way to find my log is to search Light Earth Aviation. A judicious use of tool Lub/coolant worked for me.

I made a clay mold, melted the lead in an iron bowl on a propane camp stove in the back yard. Came out fine.
