As I sat down to write this blog, I thought about how best to explain the installation of HAAS REVO Standard and Low-Profile End Stops in a way that’s easy to follow. Let’s dive into the details, step by step.
First things first, gather your materials—your marking template, a 3/8†spade bit, and your trusty drill. Set your drill to its highest speed setting for smooth drilling. Begin by marking the spots where you plan to drill on both sides of the post. It’s crucial to drill halfway from each side to prevent the drill bit from splintering as it exits the post. Trust me, it makes a world of difference.
Once your marks are ready, it's time to drill. Align the drill bit carefully with the mark, making sure it's straight and level. Start drilling until you’ve reached about half the depth of the post. Repeat this process for all the marks on one side, then switch to the other side and do the same. After drilling, don’t forget to clean out any leftover sawdust from the holes to ensure a perfect fit later.
Now that your holes are ready, it’s time to assemble the cables. Grab your precut cables and slide on either the standard or low-profile end stops depending on your preference. Ensure that the cable is seated fully inside the swage cavity to avoid any issues down the line.
Using your swaging tool, secure the end stops onto the cables. Position the die within the swage area, which is marked by a small indicator line. Close the handles of the swager for the first stage, then slightly open them and rotate the end stop by 90 degrees before completing the second and final stage. This process needs to be repeated for every cable and end stop in your run.
Once everything is swaged, it’s time to feed the cables through the back of the post. Slide on any post protectors if needed and insert them into the holes. You’ll know you’re done when the end stops are snugly seated in each hole.
Voila! Your end stops are now securely installed, and you’re all set to finish the rest of your cable rail installation. If you’re feeling unsure at any point, there are plenty of tutorial videos online to help guide you further. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you encounter any hiccups along the way.
