I haven't seen that, and couldn't find it on Cleveland's site. What do they call it? Thanks

First attempt at posting a Pic

Pic 2/2, scrap pieces of aluminum clamped around and over scrap piece of wedge. note paper under cross aluminum to give it some more room on top. used oil on wedge to allow it to slide easier.

Pic 1/2 wedge being drilled. I used holes under top wedge to help align. Small holes touching edge of big holes.

A couple of photos to show how it works. I'm sure the Cleaveland folks can get you on it. They had them at Oshkosh this year.

Remove the IMG text at the start and end of the address and you can see the images. For some reason it won't work otherwise. Sorry.

One more thing you will want to have is a 3/32" vice grip dimple thing. You won't need it often, but nice to have when you do.

Yes and you will also get to use it on the elevators, ailerons and flaps. All the trailing edges. I used the scraps and it worked, but I can see where this tool would be better. Who doesn't need another tool specific to building an aircraft?

I'm currently just making notes about a potential RV-14 project. Having attended the RV Assembly Workshop at OSH this year and struggling with countersinking that trailing edge strip without even the benefit of the method described in Section 5, I really think that I want to make particular note of this tool. I've searched high and low on the Cleaveland website and cannot find it. Since I wouldn't be ordering for some time, I don't want to bother them with the question. Can someone provide a link to this jig on their website?

Just spoke to Cleveland tool about this tool. It is not on their website but they do have it in stock. Give 'em a call.
