Unsurprising.

'Sides, it would be easier to align than a glued in fin
splitter. And hell, it's only $7.

My thinking too. Only problem is I need to make a thicker insert for it to
fly. I've been looking at this problem for a while, and I really don't
have a good plan of attack. The factory insert is only 1/8" thick, and the
edge is rolled over and sort of pointy. I think it would make a lousy
guide for a router bit, even if I had a router that didn't suck. Then
there's the problem of routing off material to fit the rim, which needs
close tolerances, and is hardly a job for the random depth feature on my
Crapsman router.

I'm thinking about sucking it up and just buying one of these damn plastic
ones. It would be worth $22 just to save myself an afternoon of
frustration.

OTOH, I will need a lot of them, and an afternoon of frustration could save
me a ton of money in the long run.

Why do these damn things have to be ROUND anyway? Square is 50,000 times
easier.

I hate curves. Despise them. Detest them. Abhor them. Right angles and
straight lines are wonderful.
