HS908 ...

I just want to go on the record by saying that fabricating the HS908 brackets with a hacksaw is a major PITA.

If you are building an RV I strongly recomend that you obtain a bandsaw that can be modified to cut alumium and steel. I have a 1950 model that my brother loaned me to which he added another pully to reduce the speed for metal cutting. I am using it several times a week. I am now installing the canopy frame on my RV-6A. Hacksaws on an RV are more than a PITA!

Yes get a bandsaw. I have not and that is one thing that if I were to start building today I would get. I am far enough along now though that I might as well finish without it. The garage is getting too full for extra tools anyways.

I agree 1000% If I did not have access to the machine shop at work, I would have been dead in the water. There is NO way that I would have been able to make it without a bandsaw. If I build another RV, the first tool I am buying is most definately a bandsaw.

Didn't I tell you to buy a bandsaw, instead of those silly cutoff wheels, while we were out at Home Depot?

I found mine for $10. I wouldn't use it for anything other than thin aluminum and aluminum angle but that was the idea.
