Aluminium Tools in MODRATEC Lever Frame Kits.

Post by roger »

When I purchased the kit, 3 aluminium tools are supplied for the marking of hole locations and subsequent hole drilling. I also purchased the pen from MODRATEC to mark the tools. While the pen supplied did a good job on brass items, I found that the aluminium was too smooth on the surface and the ink rubbed off very quickly. After needing to renew the marking on the tool several times, I thought of a better way to mark the tool.
My suggestion is to file a small "V" notch in the A end of the tool on Face 1 and file 2 "V" notches on the A end of Face 2. This enables quick visual identification of the orientation of the tool.
You may consider putting this suggestion in your manual.
