Plank tapering tool


Recommended Posts

Sorry if this is discussed elsewhere, I searched for "plank tapering" but did not find any discussion. 

 

I was wondering if anybody knows of a dealer in the U.S. that sells this tool from gk-modellbau, or if there is a similar tool from anybody else:

I used this tool years ago and thought it useful, but have since lost it. 

 

Thanks,

It would also be easy to sandwich the plank between surplus stock with the desired taper within the sandwich and remove what is sticking out with one of several methods available. If doing more than a few, refinements could be justified that could develop into a useful and versatile taper guide. Taper guide on a lathe, could be a good place to look for ideas.
