Grinder Problems
When I first got my new grinder I was thrilled with it, but I've been
having problems recently and I'm thinking about sending it back to the manufacturer. Yesterday I spent almost 20 minutes grinding on a piece and it was still too small. Michael

I believe in taking the time to be a more accurate cutter, and spending as little time as possible at the grinder.... but what do I know? -- JK Sinrod www.SinrodStudios.com www.MyConeyIslandMemories.com

One thing I've noticed though with commercial lamp kits is that the pattern you cut to doesn't exactly match the pattern that is on the mold. Cutting just a little larger and grinding a bit is a trade-off on having to recut pieces where the cutting pattern is much smaller than the mold pattern. Michael
