    I never thought that there was too much play. If you want to increase precision, do all the depth gauges on one side first, then adjust, and do the other side. Philbert

    But you don’t have to order the whole, $150 (+) vise. The vice plates are actually a wear item, too, so it doesn’t hurt too, have them. Philbert

    I saw a post in another forum, whete the guy used MAXX grinders for sharpening, and his USG for depth gauges! I see a lot of posts where people say they use their Oregon / Tecomec grinders for sharpening, snd a clone version for depth gauges. Whatever works! Philbert
