I'm always the last to find out this IMPORTANT stuff! g So when is my WWII going to self destruct so I have a legit reason to get the new one?

The raker is only used when you (quite often) just _have_ to cut flat bottomed grooves. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it... g Although it's still tough to justify spending that $100 bill, it's on my wish list as well. There are many good years left in my WWII, but when I bought it, I tried to get an ATB/R. It was special order only. Greg G. |

When I say this, I mean it was not an item available from Amazon or stocked at any of my local stores. It has been available as a Custom WWII Grind #6, I believe, for quite a while. But you had to order directly from Forrest. I'm assuming this is the blade they are promoting... Greg G. |
