[CAUT] hammer thickness trimming jig

[Shawn Brock]

OOPS!  You are correct!  A friend came up with the jig I have, I got it confused with my Spurlock hammer tail arcing jig.  My friend makes both, and until I went and looked I couldn't recall who's was who's.  Just one more blunder on my part.  I'm getting good at those.  My apologies Greg.

  Shawn,

        I have the Spurlock jig of which you speak, I think. AS far as I can tell it does NOT work with shanks installed. Is this the one you're talking about?

   



   

  Where would the shank go?

  Yes,

  Spurlock does make a jig that does work nicely.  Its gotten me through some 

  bad times before.  Like all Spurlock tools, it works wonderfully in my 

  humble opinion.  I was shocked that no one had brought this up sooner in 

  this discussion.  Guess most folks were sleeping in late like me...  Oh, and 

  you can use the Spurlock jig with hammers that are already installed on 

  shanks, which is what is being asked.
