Could be a mistake on the drawing, or could be intentional. It's possible that on a small dovetail like this the intent was to ride on the bottom since it was likely it would be clamped a lot, ant that would give better clamping area - resistance. |

I don't want to look too silly here, but it appears to me to be upside down. Surely the contact should be on the slope. And the gib stip should make this happen. Unfortunately all my MEW issues are packed away somewhere so I can't check it. Dave |
| ziggar:
it IS upside down the larger squarer piece should be the uppermost part if you look at the photo of the completed article here http://homews.co.uk/page145.html you can plainly see how it relates to the whole. |

I think it's OK John. The picture here http://homews.co.uk/LrgGrindRest01.jpg clearly shows exactly the same issue you have noticed. Russell |
| vtsteam:
Here are the relevant dwg details, so people can stop guessing. And in the photo above it looks as if, yes the dovetail is not intended to ride on the shoulder, but on the bottom (or top, depending on which slide you are referring to -- there are 2, and in opposite orientations). John, it looks like you may have reversed the 8 and 8.5mm depths, since yours doesn't seat on the bottom. |
