I have an Inland type tool. I picked it up on eBay pretty cheap- the blades, too. Now, I just have to get proficient at using it. What seems to be so simple is clearly not so simple to me. I get the depth uneven or not deep enough. Or, I get it too deep. Or, I get it too close to one end and chip the stone with the wire. Or, ....

Hmmm... thanks Scott. Its interesting to see how it's done but I don't think I want it bad enough to go buy a special router table or whatever that thing is. I've got a spare 7" wet tile saw sitting in the shed I think I'll get one of those super-thin blades for it and try building the double jigs on it. One problem with my current setup is the blade is too thick and so the girdle of the cab has to be very thick or the back wall of the cab starts chipping. That is why I suggested the same tool could be made to work upside down in a cheap drill press. |

HEy Tommy nice job on the groove wrap...Do you have a dremel...I did my first one by cutting a hole in a piece of wood for dremel to push up into ..Did it cone shaped and then attached a diamond disk through the top of the hole ..I clamped the wood to a cinder block with the dremel in the hole and clamped the dremel to the cinder block when I found the height I wanted to groove ...You can make a consistant depth by marking with a sharpie the the depth you want to stop at on the disk..Worked for me until I got a flat lap and groove cutter..Hope it helps..John
