Mouthpiece Work / Difficult Refacing Tasks
FROM: kwbradbury (kwbradbury)
SUBJECT: Difficult Refacing Tasks
I did a 5 pieces this week. A record for me (hey I have a day job). One of the most difficult tasks I find is getting the lay length with the .0015" feeler, and then not messing it up along the way. When I do mess it up, I have to cut the table down further to get it back. Too much table cutting can lead to a high spot on the table unless you really pay attention to holding the piece flat. Weel with the 2 piece I did today, I just stayed away from the .0015" area until I got the rest of the facing correct. This way I could sneak up on it without overshooting it. Anyone else recall a difficult refacing task that they solved or need a solution to?

Getting the .0015" feeler straight is the most difficult, for sure.
