Here's todays delema. I make strictly folders. I learned a while back that everything on a folder has to start perfectly flat, or at least as flat as I can get it. (learned this one the hard way
)Well here's the question? I have everything down pretty well except for the backspacer. I use the platten on my wilton square wheel to bring the material down to size. I also try hand sanding when I am close to size. I almost always tend to make the front and back of the backspacers width a few, like .004 thinner than the middle. I asume this is either from the sand paper, either by hand or machine bowing or flexing as you push thus rounding the thickness of the front and back of the backspacer. Just wondering if anybody has come up with a better way without buying a surface grinder? Thanks in advance.
