A real lifesaver!
This is a wonderful tool for those who restore guns or build their own, as you can modify pretty much any screw to make just the screw you need. Centering a screw slot by hand is a frustrating hit-or-miss proposition, so I was truly amazed to see what I have been missing. No more endless searches for that missing screw, just turn down the head on a standard screw to the right shape, cut the slot, and it's done! The only reason I don't give it a 5 star rating is that it's not adjustable, and only allows for .025 files to be used. Fortunately, a hack saw blade will fit between the rollers, and you can make a guide cut and then widen the slot with a hand-held file. I haven't tried it with thinner files, but I would think that you can tape the sides of the file to keep it on center. I have contacted Brownells about offering different size rollers (replacement standard rollers would also be great), and I hope that they will bite. If you could use this fixture with any size file, it would go from excellent to absolutely outstanding!
