Sonus Matter and Fit Kit Review

[mrd6]

Maybe a dumb question but where/how do you buy the sonus products?

Edit: nevermind its the facebook link...am I the only one who didnt know you could buy things through facebook?! haha

Sure the bits are pricey. Any good tool is. But it doesn't take long for the price of the tape to add up. Is it for everyone? No. But if you are going to get serious about inserts then its an investment worth making. I haven't made too many things with inserts but I'm already over what the bits cost.

It is a rabbet bit.. takes off .030

Using a 1/8th" rabbet will leave the insert loose.

This allows the parts to snap together

Will depend on the material and if foam backing is being used.

your right but using these bits gives you the option for various materials and ensures a tight fit

yup thats just it, I dont do much of that stuff, so its hard for me to drop that kind of cash, especially when people want things done dirt cheap every time, i just turn down the job, same can go for boxes too when a kid tells you $450 is to much money for a dual 15box that he wants a 3layer baffle, internal bracing, fiberglassed reinforced seems, a smooth glossy painted port and carpeted, but then he proceeds to tell you how he can buy a prefab from the internet for $89......... What his wants are, and what he gets for his $89 box are 2 different things and all he will get from his want list at that price is a carpeted cheap box that most likely wont be the best choice for his woofers.

Nice review, I got a set of the FitKit bits from Micah too, this is going to save me so much flipping tape. Just a heads up that he is also releasing a kit that over/under sizes by 1/64" (.0156). This would be for use of primer and painted inserts.

Another nice thing on the fit kit bits is they use a standard size bearing, you don't have to buy a new bit when the bearing goes bad, simply swap it out with a readily available bearing.

Haha I laughed when I read how it feels like Cool Whip, as odd as that sounds its true, it feels like there is air inside of it.

We need a vid of the bits.

I haven't been on mobilesolutions site in a while, smart spreaders? Really? lol

I made a thread on Fiberglass forums few years ago or so about taking a regular spreader and cutting a notch/shape into it exactly like those to achieve a desired contour.

[kingsuv]

Yeah I feel pretty stupid that I have notched spreaders to make a contour I wanted, and those guys made them to sell. Oh well enough beer to create a great idea..... too much beer to actually do something with it.
