Cutting and drilling the aileron lead balance weights is a very tedious job as the band saw and drill bits load up very quickly. A lot of patience is required when performing this task. You will notice the lead shavings loading up the drill in the picture.
Factoid: Lead (pronounced /ˈlɛd/, led) is a main-group element with symbol Pb (Latin: plumbum) and atomic number 82. Lead is a soft, malleable poor metal, also considered to be one of the heavy metals. Lead has a bluish-white color when freshly cut, but tarnishes to a dull grayish color when exposed to air.
