ebinmaine 63,168 #84 Posted April 27, 2019 Does it clamp onto something else? Is it a guide for another tool? Or is it used independently? What is the wheel made of? Or more to the point does it Mark something? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

formariz 11,849 #86 Posted April 27, 2019 It is not clamped onto anything it is used independently except for with piece being worked. Wheel is hardened steel. It does not mark anything. It is not a "guide" but it is self guiding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 35,809 #97 Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) I didn't really jump. What I keep going back to is rubbing the edge of a board across that smooth wheel Must condition it for the next step. Staining? Edited April 27, 2019 by Ed Kennell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
formariz 11,849 #98 Posted April 27, 2019 A few more hints; Its made in Germany. Those people are clever. I don't know of another like it or similar made anywhere else by anybody. It does rub against "something" It is still available today. Majority of woodworkers "today"never seen one. Majority of woodworkers "today" never think they have a need for one. I bet your father in law would know what it is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
