Seems a good fit. I'll find out another time how well it holds up to the torque.

Bingo Graham, three out of three.

I don't need a fancy cutter as I'm only doing the job once, so grinding paste will be fine.

I cut this edge to 30 degrees.

Seems to fit. I'll know for sure once I start cutting.

When he retired from cabinet making, my granddad owned a hardware store. I was too young to remember it, but I think it was one of those places with ladders, no room to move, and shelves upon shelves, where you could find absolutely anything. I think my garage has the same kind of ethos.
