That sounds like a good setup. One more question before this thread dies. What size slot do people cut? Or in other words, how much clearance do you allow for the knuckle core? Phil Ford Measure the core thickness of the knuckle and use a cutter a couple of thousandths oversize. This allows a little space for alignment, variations in core thickness, and a good glue line. A tight fit leaves no room for glue. The few cores that are too thick can be quickly filed to fit. Paul C
