The Remote Aligner allows you to stand by the turnout being aligned so you can precisely align the servo endpoints with ease. There are 8 positions for plugging in R/C type servos and 8 inputs for switches or 5V logic. The Octopus III can drive up to 8 servos to move turnouts or other devices on your layout controlled by a toggle switch, a momentary pushbutton, the output of a signal system or a DCC decoder.
HOME DEPOT KNUCKLE FASCIA BOARD LINEHOLD DRIVER
Before cutting, be sure that the clamps will not obstruct the saw and that the saw cord will trail freely.Octopus III Eight Servo Driver with Remote Aligner Tool Position a straightedged board on top of the fascia to guide the saw parallel to the fascia's edge and clamp both pieces to the work surface. Place the new fascia on a flat surface or across several sawhorses, with the edge to be cut overhanging. Make a practice cut on scrap lumber and test the fit against the roof. Tighten it and use the tool as a guide for setting the saw baseplate to the same angle. Adjust the blade so that the tool conforms to the angle.
First find the angle to cut the edge by placing a sliding T-bevel over the edge of the old fascia or beneath the roof sheathing, where it forms an angle with a rafter end.Ī sliding T-bevel resembles a tri-square with a slotted adjustable blade.
The mitered end should slope toward the side of the board that will touch the building.īeveling the upper edge of the fascia is necessary at times so that it fits tightly beneath the roof sheathing. Tilt the saw baseplate 45 degrees and guide it against a straightedge.
Do that before cutting it to length with a circular saw. Long lengths may have to be delivered, but they require fewer end-to-end joints than short lengths and may last longer.įascia that forms part of a corner and will not be covered by siding may require mitering for appearance. Fascia lumber has to be flat and straight and contain no defects other than small tightly attached knots. Take a piece of the old fascia to a lumberyard to obtain the correct size. Minor rotted areas can be scraped away and missing material replaced with epoxy or acrylic wood restorer.īuy new lumber for a replacement fascia. If the wood to which the fascia was attached is decayed, it also has to be repaired. Then pry the board away from the rafter ends or from the separating board, the fascia backer. To remove a damaged board whether or not it was beneath siding, pry away the molding strip, if there is one at the top, with a flat prybar. Next, separate the upper edge of the siding covering the fascia from the trim strip by prying or sliding it off. Pry or slide the upper ends of the caps out from beneath the horizontal trim strip running along the top of the fascia. Use a screwdriver to pry loose the bottoms of the corner caps at each end of the siding. Troughs should slope at least one-16th inch per foot toward downspouts. To simplify reinstallation, measure and record the highest and lowest points along a gutter trough before removing it. Start by removing downspouts, gutter troughs and brackets or other fasteners. To inspect fascia boards behind siding and replace them, the siding covering the boards must be removed.
