Step Sanding Tool Kits

Our 'Step Sanding Tool Kits’ allow step sanded repair surfaces in composite parts to be prepared in less time than scarf surfaces and can be used cross sector, including civil, marine, automotive and aerospace repairs, to name a few.

The combination of Dynabrade air routers with diamond surface planing heads and flexible jigs accommodate step sanded repair surfaces on parts with internal and external double curvature.  The laser engraved jigs accommodate metric and imperial scales for both radii and diameters.
Consistent step sanded repair surfaces can be produced on composite parts with significant time saving, typically 50-75% time saving over current practices.

Paired with one of our portable dust extraction units, the on-tool extraction is highly effective at removing the dust generated at point of source, to the extent that it eliminates the need for containment curtains and dust masks during the surface preparation activity.
High end step sanded composite repairs into the realms of standard repair practices at significantly reduced cost, we have an ‘Off the Shelf Solution’
 
Each kit includes:
  • Dynabrade Air Motors modified to our specification
  • ¼” Dynaswivel and Hi Flow airline connection
  • 1 ¼” swivel vacuum extraction connection
  • Depth increments of 0.05mm/0.002” with laser engraved scales
  • All jigs engraved metric/imperial scales for radii and diameters in  1mm/1/16” increments
  • All jigs fully adjustable with scale pointers
  • Re-usable jig datum points with 3M VHB self-adhesive pads (pack of 100)
  • Pen insert and compass centre for marking parts & materials
  • Full set of hex keys, spanners and screwdriver for assembly & adjustment of kit
  • Full colour printed user manual & flash drive with instructions & videos
  • Supplied as a kit in an aluminium case, inlaid into foam for easy transportation

Small Step Sanding Tool Kit

Due to demand, we have now developed a smaller step sanding tool kit that can accommodate more complex composite repairs over much tighter curvature and more complex geometry.

This is achieved by using a smaller router with a smaller base and smaller diameter cutting heads.

The kit accommodates smaller repairs up to 300mm (12”) in diameter, in step increments as low as 1mm (1/16”) and depth increments of 0.05mm (0.002”).


Supplied with thin very flexible jigs and small diameter planing heads to address intricate parts with tight internal and external curvature:
  • 44/60, 60/85 & 85/100 diamond grit surface planers in two diameters (set of six)
  • Small circle jig for 10-150mm/ ½”-6” diameter repair surfaces
  • Thin and flexible small radius arm jigs for 100-305mm/4-12” diameter repair surfaces
  • Flexible large radius arm jigs for 100-610mm/4-24” diameter repair surfaces

List Price £1,750.00 (Discounted Payment on Order/Website Price £1,670.00)

Step Sanding Tool Kit

This kit is suited to both small and large composite repairs with a low level of curvature, due to the size of the router and cutting heads.

The kit can accommodate repair areas up to 1220mm (48”) in diameter, in step increments as low as 1mm (1/16”) and depth increments of 0.05mm (0.002”).

The set of 4 diamond planing heads allow removal of a range of composite materials from coarse to fine, including gel coats, hand laid chopped strand mats, woven pre-preg fabrics, uni-directional, stitched and veil fabrics.

Supplied with flexible jigs and larger surface planing heads to address large parts with less curvature:
  • 36/44, 44/60, 60/85 & 85/100 large diameter diamond grit surface planers        (set of 4)
  • Small circle jig for 40-150mm/1 ½”-6” diameter repair surfaces
  • Flexible small radius arm jig for 150-610mm/6-24” diameter repair surfaces
  • Flexible large radius arm jigs for 150-1220mm/6-48” diameter repair surfaces

List Price £2,280.00 (Discounted Payment on Order/Website Price £2,100.00)
