Ray,


Wow! That is so clearly explained so that I actually understand it!
Half way, 1/8" below half way, scribe lines on the blade, here and there... NO!

File from the edge to 'almost' the spine! I understand!
There is no way it can be confusing or explained any better. Thank you Ray!
One wouldn't need to even see it. A dimes thickness on the edge and I have seen pictures of blades that stop the bevel "almost at the spine." Don't grind the spine.

That picture of Dan's file Guide is exactly like mine.
So one can set the plunge cut with it even though it will wear out the guide. Hmmm...
sounds like a cheap way to learn the skill. I can always get another file guide and use the old one to start plunge cuts. And once the plunge cut is made with the file one can use the Grizzly.


I try it tonight...


Thanks...
Jack
