Subj: Re: [DR-L] Profiler and Sharpening Jig

It looks very nice, Randy! Nice work!

But I still think that, on that kind of profilers,
the handle should be positionned between the blade and the guiding rod...

As it is now, when one profiles a piece of cane, there is a twisting action on the "chariot" (because of the resistance of the cane) that puts a lot
of friction on the guiding rod.

When the handle is between the blade and the guiding rod, there is a lot less friction.

I hope you understand my explanation.
