Modifying the NWSL Chopper


Recommended Posts

In order to make minor  size adjustments on the chopper I added a small graphic to the floor. The increments allow me to more accurately make 1mm (or smaller) changes to the position of the stop. 1130083820_Chopper2_edited-1.jpg.cb7ada27ad15022863601691f91b890c.jpgI459297505_Chopper3.jpg.97cd01831c7f76850725ea41ed44b7c6.jpg

I take it this is  copy machine paper or similar thin paper? I can see one done in millimeter's and another in 1/64 or 1/32 inch. Good tip.

Absolutely Ken. Plain copier paper. I started working in mm a few years ago and as my mind ages mm are soooo easy. Obviously mm can't always be used.

 

Also, a few years ago one of our forum members posted one they did for angles. It works great...Moab
