<P class=MsoPlainText> 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?<o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoPlainText>Yes,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>Spurlock does make a jig that does work nicely.
Its gotten me through some <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>bad times before. Like all Spurlock tools, it
works wonderfully in my <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>humble opinion. I was shocked that no one had
brought this up sooner in <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>this discussion. Guess most folks were sleeping in
late like me... Oh, and <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>you can use the Spurlock jig with hammers that are
already installed on <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>shanks, which is what is being asked.<o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoPlainText>>I think Spurlock also has a jig similar to
Rogers.<o:p></o:p></P>
