Hello, everyone!

I used to cut the grooves for the groove wraps by hand, using my cabbing machine and a small, thin diamond blade.

These days I decided to do something to ease my work and here is what I've done (the not-painted pieces are the components of the groove cutting device):

I posted this device and some more pics in the wire wrapping area, so if you are interested please also look here

Thank you for looking,
Adrian

Rocks choose their owners, but they allow us the joy of believing to the contrary.

As a retired mechanic I can take apart and fix just about anything. I have a lot of respect for people that can visualize and create solutions like you do.

Adrian:
Great work, I really like nice clean, simple engineering solutions that are also cleanly executed. Your solutions to equipment are what was seen here in North America forty years ago in this hobby. I am not saying that you are out of date by any means. It is just so refreshing to see work like this. Please keep showing us more.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
