So. I’ve bought a folder from a member on here which arrived Friday.
plan is to fettle it, paint it etc before I put it into service. I’ve taken the fixed ‘anvil’ off for a mate to regrind and get straight and true.
question is, how do I set it for different thicknesses? I had expected to see elongated slots in the holes for the fixed anvil so you can move it toward or away from the bend axis. These holes are round and it appears to have one position, which can’t be right. You need to allow for thickness of materials. I’ve asked him but 1, I’m impatient and 2, he doesn’t get online that often so thought I’d ask the collective!
