Kevin Report post Posted September 29, 2008 I have an older Tandy groover that works just fine, if you concentrate. A couple years ago I ordered one for the shop, and the blade is longer than the guide, which I find impossible to use. I wonder if this is what is causing your problems.

Kevin You might be doubleright here. Like i stated earlier my mind is prone to drift off when i monotonous work. This is good when doing long tideous basketweaves for example but bad when doing a long groove. My blade is longer than the guide as you can see in the pics but wait up a second here. What do we see when we look at this enlaged image. I can't see it clearly with my own eyes but looking at this image it looks like the edges of that cutting has been used to showel gravel with!! I'm gunna bring out my macro gear and try to get a good shoot at that edge. Tom Edit: Not a good clean macroshot but the edge do not look that crisp to me. I have a sparblade but got a fuzzy shot of it but appears to be similar, perhaps a tad better. Edited September 29, 2008 by TomSwede Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
