Used for beveling large holes on gussets and such like the pic   :razz: Its an easy way to lose weight yet retain strength in the part

I've been wanting to order a set of them for a long time now, but haven't had a big enough project to justify buying them.
But then again, I've bought specialty tools and only used them once in years.

Nice! How about making the framework large enough to accept a good portion of a hood.  :idea:
And then make up some louver punch dies. :mrgreen:
I don't know of anyone in the area with one, and have been wanting to louver the xj hood to let some the heat out from under it in the summer time.

I'll cut the braces out, and drop it off for a few rows before next summer.
Much cleaner and functional than a plastic piece.

They can alos be called flanged lighting holes, atleast that is what the aircraft industry calls them, hell there is even a military spec for them.
