Congratulations on your purchase of the CORDLESS version of the Great Planes SLOT
MACHINE ™ , the first truly easy way to cut hinge slots in your model airplanes.
The Slot Machine you have purchased is equipped with standard BLADES FOR CA
HINGES, each having a thickness of .008” [0.2mm], which cut slots that are ideal for today’s
“CA hinges.” If you need to cut thicker slots for pinned hinges or tailgear brackets, etc., you
may want to purchase the BLADES FOR NYLON HINGES, which are .012” [0.3mm] thick,
and which have larger teeth and more “set” in the teeth, which produce an ideal slot for a
.040” [1mm] hinge. Or you can purchase the BLADES FOR H.D. HINGES, which are the
same as the blades for Nylon hinges, but cut deeper to accommodate heavy-duty hinges.
You will find the instructions for blade replacement in this pamphlet. If you are one of the
fortunate modelers to have
both the corded and cordless models, we suggest using the
cordless version with the standard blades for CA hinges, and the corded version with the
thicker replacement blades.
Please read all the instructions and safety precautions before cutting
your first slot, and be sure to practice on balsa scraps to learn good
technique before cutting slots in your model airplane.
