Great Tool- How do you use it?
The first reviewer got this exactly right. This is a heavy, solid tool, with great adjustments (height has ball detent). Don't expect to be able to make this work from the instructions. They're not much help. e.g. Instructions referred to index mark on adapter that wasn't there. Steep learning curve is right. I t took me several months, working sporadically to get this thing to work. If it hadn't been for a photo of a sear mounted on it I found online, I might have still been trying to figure it out. Someone needs to make a video of how to use this great tool. That being said, this tool does a perfect job. Well worth the money.
Very nice, but somewhat complicated
This fixture is great if you have several (a dozen or more) triggers that need stoning, therefore its best for the gunsmith and not the casual hobbist. It does take some getting used to, but the instructions are clear, and practice improves proffiency. Specifically, this fixture allows for a even flat stone with jigs that keep stones and parts in the same position, eliminating goofy angles or grinds. It does have plenty of adjustments available for variation of parts, and the triggers and sears fit tightly on the jig pins. The eight ways to Sunday that the fixture can be adjusted, again is it's own worst enemy, but after many jobs, I wouldn't trade it for anything. Summay: Great, but it has a steep learning curve, so patience is necessary at first.
