Trammel Tool

[Dbow]

Does anyone know where to find a "Trammel Tool". I need one for a PA-18-95. Any help would be appreciated.

Any good hardware store should have trammel points in stock. Then just buy a 6' section of aluminum bar stock to fit the trammel points.

Poor man's trammel stick:
Supplies:
Stick of quarter round (any long stick will work)
2 brad nails.
One spring clamp.
Put a brad in the end of a long stick then use a spring clamp to hold the other brad where ever you need it.

I made mine from electrical EMT conduit, 2 couplings and two sharpened screws.

2 sharpened eight penny nails stuck through some hose clamps tightened onto a length of 5/8 tube. Adjust by loosening up one clamp.

I have a set of these and really like them. $30 is worth it to me.

I use sharpened sticks and small C-clamps. Plus, I do it more than once in each bay, and I stretch a string along the forward spar. Only way I could get it more accurate is with a magnifying glass and a precision mark on the bolt head.

Here's one you could make in about five minutes for a few bucks.

Thanks for all the help. I really appreciate the responses.

also note if you are going to make them that the points are ground off center on the rods, and rods can rotate to give you the fine adjustment in this...
