Haines CNC Router cutting aircraft ribs and skins

www.hainesengineering.com The Haines CNC Router Type 4A is shown here pre-drilling and cutting 0.025 aluminum into aircraft ribs and skins. This was a practice session to determine the accuracy of the pre-drilled holes. The holes in the pre-drilled wing skins and the pre-drilled wing rib flanges matched well enough that no reaming or deburring was necessary (although this is recommended on actual aircraft parts). This CNC unit is plywood construction, capable of 50 inches in width and 3 to 12+ feet in length. The prototype shown here does not have the dust collection duct and skirt installed and does not have the wires dressed properly (the nature of prototypes!)

Here’s a brief build description of the simple foam router that features in my first video – thanks for all the positive comments and personal messages, just sorry it took so long to get this posted! I may still produce kits for this router if enough people want them, I’m looking at producing something similar in size but a lot better quality then the prototype of course. I imagine it being a snap together system that would need nothing more than a screwdriver to put together.
